Discrete-time signals are mathematical entities; in particular, they are functions with an independent time variable and a dependent variable that typically represents some kind of real-world quantity of interest. But as interesting as a signal may be on its own, engineers usually want to
do something to it. This kind of action is what discrete-time systems are all about. A
discrete-time system is a mathematical transformation that maps a discrete-time input signal (usually designated $x$) into a discrete-time output signal (usually designated $y$). In other words, it takes an input signal and modifies it to produce an output signal:
There is no end to the possibilities of what a system could do. Systems might be trivially dull (e.g., produce an output of 0 regardless of the input) or incredibly complex (e.g., isolate a single voice speaking in a crowd). Here are a few examples of systems:
A speech recognition system converts acoustic waves of speech into text
A radar system transforms the received radar pulse to estimate the position and velocity of targets
A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) system transforms measurements of electron spin into voxel-by-voxel estimates of brain activity
A 30 day moving average smooths out the day-to-day variability in a stock price
Signal length and systems
Recall that discrete-time signals can be broadly divided into two classes based upon their length: they are either infinite length or finite length (and recall also that periodic signals, though infinite in length, can be viewed as finite-length signals when we take a single period into account). Likewise, discrete-time systems are also finite or infinite length, depending on the kind of input signals they take. Finite-length systems take in a finite-length input and produce a finite-length output (of the same length), with infinite-length systems doing the same for infinite-length signals.
Examples of discrete-time systems
So a system takes an input signal $x$ and produces an output signal $y$. How does this look, mathematically? Below are several examples of systems and their mathematical expression:
Identity: $y[n] = x[n]$
Scaling: $y[n] = 2\, x[n]$
Offset: $y[n] = x[n]+2$
Square signal: $y[n] = (x[n])^2$
Shift: $y[n] = x[n+m]\quad m\in Z$
\]
Decimate: $y[n] = x[2n]$
Square time: $y[n] = x[n^2]$
Moving average (combines shift, sum, scale): $y[n] = \frac{1}{2}(x[n]+x[n-1])$
Recursive average: $y[n] = x[n]+ \alpha\,y[n-1]$
So systems take input signals and produce output signals. We have seen some examples of systems, and have also introduced a broad categorization of systems as either operating on finite or infinite length signals.

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
