139 T not stable implies not BIBO stable

has a pole at iν, and hence Y^(s)=T(s)U^(s) has a double (or triple, …) pole at iν. But Y(t) is bounded, so |Y(t)|M for some M and all t, so

|Y^(s)|=|0e-stY(t)𝑑t|
0e-tsMdt|
Ms.

Now consider s with s>0 and siν. Now T(s)U^(s) diverges like 1/(s-iν)2 or 1/(s-iν)3 etc.; whereas Y^(s) can only diverge like M/s at worst. This contradicts the identity Y^(s)=T(s)U^(s).
