  • Abstract
    In a recent study of a family of continuous input-output maps representing linear time-invariant systems that take a set of continuous-time signals into themselves, it is shown that the family contains maps the impulse response of which is the zero function, but which take certain inputs into nonzero outputs. Here we show that such maps exist that satisfy the additional condition that they are causal.
