SUMMARY
The unit step function can be represented in MATLAB using the expression y = (t >= 0), where t is a predefined vector. Alternatively, the Heaviside function can also be utilized to represent the unit step function y = u(t). This approach allows for a concise definition of the unit step function as a single function rather than multiple vectors.
