Laplace Transform

The Laplace transform is an Integral Transform perhaps second only to the Fourier Transform in its utility insolving physical problems. Due to its useful properties, the Laplace transform is particularly useful in solving linearOrdinary Differential Equations such as those arising in the analysis ofelectronic circuits.


The (one-sided) Laplace transform (not to be confused with the Lie Derivative) is defined by

(1)

where is defined for . A two-sided Laplace transform is sometimes also defined by
(2)

The Laplace transform existence theorem states that, if is piecewise Continuous on every finite interval in satisfying
(3)

for all , then exists for all . The Laplace transform is also Unique, in thesense that, given two functions and with the same transform so that
(4)

then Lerch's Theorem guarantees that the integral
(5)

vanishes for all for a Null Function defined by
(6)


The Laplace transform is Linear since

(7)
The inverse Laplace transform is given by the Bromwich Integral (see also Duhamel's Convolution Principle).A table of several important Laplace transforms follows.

Range

In the above table, is the zeroth order Bessel Function of the First Kind, is the DeltaFunction, and is the Heaviside Step Function. The Laplace transform has many important properties.


The Laplace transform of a Convolution is given by

(8)


(9)


Now consider Differentiation. Let be continuously differentiable times in . If, then


(10)

This can be proved by Integration by Parts,
 
  
  
 (11)

Continuing for higher order derivatives then gives
(12)

This property can be used to transform differential equations into algebraic equations, a procedure known as theHeaviside Calculus, which can then be inverse transformed to obtain the solution. For example, applying theLaplace transform to the equation
(13)

gives


(14)


(15)

which can be rearranged to
(16)

If this equation can be inverse Laplace transformed, then the original differential equation is solved.


Consider Exponentiation. If for , then for .

 
 (17)


Consider Integration. If is piecewise continuous and , then

(18)

The inverse transform is known as the Bromwich Integral, or sometimes the Fourier-Mellin Integral.
