How Can I Modify My Equation to Become a Continuous-Time Function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on modifying the equation y = αe^(βW) to express it as a continuous-time function y(t) when the variable f changes with time t. The participants clarify that y = αe^(βW(t)) is already a continuous function of t. To explicitly show the dependence on time, one can rewrite the equation as y(t) = ae^(bf(t))e^((cf + d)∫_0^t f(u) du), where the integral is adjusted to avoid confusion with the variable t. This formulation maintains the integrity of the original equation while incorporating the time-varying nature of f.

Lets say I have an equation,

[tex]y=\alpha e^{\beta W}[/tex]

where,
[tex]\alpha = a e^{b f}[/tex] and [tex]\beta = c f + d[/tex]

[tex]W = \int^{T}_{0}f dt[/tex]

My problem now is, what happen if [tex]f[/tex] is changing with time [tex]t[/tex], [tex]f(t)[/tex]

How do I modify my main equation, [tex]y[/tex], so that it become an continuous-time function, [tex]y(t)[/tex].

Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean: what you give
[tex]y= \alpha e^\beta W(t)[/itex]<br /> <b>is</b> a "continuous-time function"- or at least a continuous function of t.<br /> <br /> If you want to you can replace each of [itex]\alpha[/itex], [itex]\beta[/itex], and W with their explicit dependence on t:<br /> [tex]y(t)= ae^{bf(t)} e^{(cf+d)\int_0^t f(u)du}[/tex]<br /> (I've changed the dummy variable in the integral to u so as not to confuse it with the variable t.)<br /> <br /> But I don't think that really adds anything as long as you don't know the explicit form of f.[/tex]
