Ah ha! There's a lot of obfuscation in the problem as stated, plus a bit of over-emphasis on the final value theorem. $$H(z) = \frac{z^{-1} \phi / (1 - \phi z^{-1})}{1 - z^{-1} \psi / (1 - \psi z^{-1})} \tag 0$$ OK, so far so good. It arises from the following feedback system $$Y(z)(1-z^{-1}) = z^{-1}F_{\psi}\cdot Y(z) + z^{-1}F_{\phi}\cdot X(z) \tag{1}$$...

Complex exponentials are eigenfunctions of LTI systems because they are eigenfunctions of the convolution operator: \begin{align}e^{j\omega_0t}\star h(t)&=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}h(\tau)e^{j\omega_0(t-\tau)}d\tau\\&=e^{j\omega_0t}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}h(\tau)e^{-j\omega_0\tau}d\tau\\&=e^{j\omega_0t}H(j\omega_0)\end{align}\tag{1} where $h(t)$ ...

After taking some more time to think about it, I think the problem is finally solved. I haven't digested Tim's answer yet, but from what I can see his approach is different. Furthermore, I thought it would be nice to give a closed-form expression for the final value the system's response will reach given values for $x[-1]$ and $y[-1]$. The final value is ...

A transfer function describes an LTI system. As such, the given system can be described by a transfer function. However, if there are non-zero initial conditions, the system is no longer linear because there's a contribution in the output that does not depend on the input signal but only on the initial conditions. Consequently, the transfer function cannot ...

Mathematically (and theoretically), there is no need for the exponential function to be a complex sinusoid. The math is unchanged. The problem is that practical LTI systems are not boundless nor are they acausal. So setting aside those problems, every LTI system has input/output relationship described by the convolution integral (for continuous-time) or ...

Complex exponential functions are most generally defined (up to a constant complex or real factor) as $t\mapsto e^{j\omega_0 t}$, $\omega_0\in \mathbb{R}$. Real exponentials are typically of the form $t\mapsto c^{ t}$, $c>0$. The latter are not a subset of the former: one reason is that complex exponentials have a modulus equal to one. This is not the ...
