Thus, given H(s, t ) we can find the response t o a n y forcing function e l ( t ) using
(6b) and(10). The coefficients CO, cl, . . . are
all functions of time,andbycomparison
with their counterparts in the case
of constant parameter linear systems, these may
be called time-varyingerror

However, the use of these coefficients may
not be very pronounced in the synthesis of

of evaluating the Laguerre coefficients of a
continuous (or piecewise continuous) function which can be approximated by a piecewise linear function. The function is viewed
