The Heaviside Step Function, often denoted as H(t) , is a mathematical function that is used to represent a signal that turns on at a specific point in time. It is defined as zero for all negative values of t and one for all positive values. This function is particularly useful in engineering and physics for modeling systems that switch on or off, such as electrical circuits. In the context of control theory and signal processing, the Heaviside Step Function helps in analyzing systems' responses to sudden changes. It serves as a building block for more complex functions and is often used in conjunction with the Laplace Transform to solve differential equations.
