conceptual questions
1. List the properties of the ROC of a Z-Transform. In how much do they differ from
those of the ROC of a Laplace Transform?
2. How can be evaluated whether an LTI system is BIBO stable? What if the system is
causal as well?
3. State the Initial Value Theorem and the Final Value Theorem of the Z-Transform. Are
they different than their Laplace Transform versions?
