Document Summary
The laplace transform is de ned by the integral. Within the integral a new variable s appears. Thus the transform is a function of s; we add the bar above the original function symbol to denote the new function of s. Sample laplace transforms: using the de nition, lf1g = provided real(s) > m. provided real(s) > 0, and lfe g = The transform domain: note that the transform is only de ned (i. e. the integral is nite) for certain ranges of s, which could be complex. Linearity: the transform is linear (i. e. acts upon the function itself, rather than a power of it or some such thing), which implies. Lfay1(t) + by2(t)g = alfy1(t)g + blfy2(t)g = ay1(s) + by2(s) Laplace transforms and derivatives: the crucial feature of the transform from the perspective of. Odes is what it does to derivatives: from the de nition, and by integrating by parts, we have.
