Laplace transform of periodic functions
Let be periodic with the positive period (http://planetmath.org/PeriodicFunctions) . Denote by the Heaviside step function. If now
then it follows
(1) |
By the parent entry (http://planetmath.org/DelayTheorem), the Laplace transform of is
whence
Thus we have the rule
(2) |
On the contrary, if is antiperiodic with positive antiperiod , then the function
also has the property (1). Analogically with the preceding procedure, one may derive the rule
