A digital filter's stability is determined by its eigenvalues; which outcome occurs when any eigenvalue's magnitude exceeds one?

💡 Explanation

The filter becomes unstable if any eigenvalue magnitude is greater than one, because the system's response grows exponentially with each iteration due to the iterative application of the system matrix, therefore the output will become unbounded, rather than remaining stable or decaying.

• A recursive function calculates the factorial of a number; if a user accidentally provides a negative input, which outcome is most likely?
• An algorithm plots the convex hull of points representing drone flight paths; if two hulls intersect in 3D space, which outcome is most likely?
• Within a sorting algorithm proven correct by mathematical induction, which effect demonstrates the base case's successful establishment of the condition for a single element?
• A robotic arm needs to grasp irregularly shaped objects. If the arm's control system uses a convex hull algorithm for collision avoidance, which effect is most likely?
• If a data custodian wants to demonstrate to an auditor the integrity of financial records using a zero-knowledge proof, which outcome is most likely?
• If an engineer needs to simplify a complex combinational logic circuit used in a washing machine's control system, which methodology directly achieves this minimization?
