Is system h(t)=u(t)−u(t−1)h(t)=u(t)−u(t−1) LTI or not?

y(t)=0x(τ)h(tτ) dτ
h(t)=u(t)u(t1)

I have some problem with understanding whether system LTI or LTV just looking the impulse response of the system. Is there any short-cut to identify the system time-variance looking the impulse function?

If a system is described by an impulse response h(t), then by definition it is an LTI system. Because impulse response of the form h(t)=T{δ(t)} only exists for LTI systems.

h(t)rect(t0.5)

y(t)=0x(τ)rect(t0.5τ) dτ

Note that if t<0t0.5τ<0.5τ(0,

|t0.5τ|>|0.5|

This means that the rect()ty(t)=0 t<0

For t>0x(t)u(t)0

If we call the window w(t)y(t)

y(t)={[x(t)u(t)]w(t)if t>00if t<0

Now, could you determine whether the system is time-invariant or not?

Hint: try appling a delay to the input signal, and see if its output is equal to a delayed version of the output itself.
