Inverse Commutativity Conditions for Second-Order Linear Time-Varying Systems

The necessary and sufficient conditions where a second-order linear time-varying system.. is commutative with another system.. of the same type have been given in the literature for both zero initial states and nonzero initial states. These conditions are mainly expressed in terms of the coefficients of the differential equation describing system A. In this contribution, the inverse conditions expressed in terms of the coefficients of the differential equation describing system B have been derived and shown to be of the same form of the original equations appearing in the literature.
