  • The assumed solution of the difference equation to the forcing equation x(n), called the particular solution of the difference equation is
    yp(n)=Kx(n)=Ku(n) (where K is a scale factor)
    Substitute the above equation in the given equation
    =>Ku(n)+aKu(n-1)=u(n)
    To determine K we must evaluate the above equation for any n>=1, so that no term vanishes.
    => K+aK=1
    =>K=1/(1+a)
    Therefore the particular solution is yp(n)= 1/(1+a) u(n).
