INTRODUCTION TO THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
1.1. The Laplace Transform: Preliminary definitions and notation
Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827)
Laplace was a French mathematician, astronomer, and physicist who applied theNewtonian theory of gravitation to the solar system (an important problem of his day). He played aleading role in the development of the metric system. The main idea behind the LaplaceTransformation is that we can solve an equation (or system of equations) containing differentialand integral terms by transforming the equation in "t-space" to one in "s-space". This makes the
problem much easier to solve.In mathematics, the Laplace transform is a widely used integral transform. Denoted
, it is a linear operatorof a functionf(t) with a real argument t(t 0), that transforms itto a function F(s) with a complex argument s. This transformation is essentiallybijective for themajority of practical uses; the respective pairs off(t) andF(s) are matched in tables. The Laplacetransform has the useful property that many relationships and operations over the originals f(t)correspond to simpler relationships and operations over the images F(s).1 The Laplace transformhas many important applications throughout the sciences.
The Laplace transform can be used to solve differential equations. Besides being a different
and efficient alternative to variation of parameters and undetermined coefficients, the Laplacemethod is particularly advantageous for input terms that are piecewise-defined, periodic orimpulsive.
The Laplace transform is related to the Fourier transform, but whereas the Fouriertransform resolves a function or signal into its modes ofvibration, the Laplace transform resolves afunction into its moments. Like the Fourier transform, the Laplace transform is used for solvingdifferential and integral equations. In physics and engineering, it is used for analysis oflinear time-invariantsystems such as electrical circuits, harmonic oscillators, optical devices, and mechanicalsystems. In this analysis, the Laplace transform is often interpreted as a transformation from thetime-domain, in which inputs and outputs are functions of time, to the frequency-domain, wherethe same inputs and outputs are functions ofcomplexangular frequency, in radians per unit time.Given a simple mathematical or functional description of an input or output to a system, theLaplace transform provides an alternative functional description that often simplifies the process ofanalyzing the behavior of the system, or in synthesizing a new system based on a set ofspecifications.

History
The Laplace transform is named in honor ofmathematician and astronomerPierre-Simon Laplace,who used the transform in his work onprobability theory. From 1744, Leonhard Eulerinvestigatedintegrals of the form
as solutions of differential equations but did not pursue the matter very far. Joseph Louis Lagrangewas an admirer of Euler and, in his work on integratingprobability density functions, investigatedexpressions of the form
which some modern historians have interpreted within modern Laplace transform theory.
These types of integrals seem first to have attracted Laplace's attention in 1782 where he wasfollowing in the spirit of Euler in using the integrals themselves as solutions of equations.However, in 1785, Laplace took the critical step forward when, rather than just looking for asolution in the form of an integral, he started to apply the transforms in the sense that was later tobecome popular. He used an integral of the form:
akin to a Mellin transform, to transform the whole of a difference equation, in order to look forsolutions of the transformed equation. He then went on to apply the Laplace transform in the same
way and started to derive some of its properties, beginning to appreciate its potential power.Laplace also recognised that Joseph Fourier's method ofFourier series for solving the diffusionequation could only apply to a limited region of space as the solutions were periodic. In 1809,Laplace applied his transform to find solutions that diffused indefinitely in space.

The meaning of the integral depends on types of functions of interest. A necessarycondition for existence of the integral is that must be locally integrable on [0,). For locallyintegrable functions that decay at infinity or are ofexponential type, the integral can be understoodas a (proper) Lebesgue integral. However, for many applications it is necessary to regard it as aconditionally convergent improper integral at . Still more generally, the integral can be
understood in a weak sense, and this is dealt with below.The definition of the Laplace transform is difficult to apply in most cases. Hence, we can
discuss about the linearity property that enables us to use the found transforms to find theLaplace transform of other functions.
THEOREM Linearity Property
Let a and b be complex constants, and suppose that the Laplace
transform of the functionsf andg exists. Then:
L{af(t)+ bg(t)}=aL{f(t)}+bL{g(t)}
Example : Calculate (a)L{6} and (b)L{5-2e-t
}Solution: Using the fact that L{f}(s) = 0 e-stdt =1S, we have:
for (a)
L{6}=6L{1}=g(1S,)= 6S,
And for (b)
L{5-2e-t} = 5L{1}-2 L{ e-t}= 5(1S,)- 2(1S-(-1),))= 5S, - 2S+1,
One can define the Laplace transform of a finite Borel measure by the Lebesgue integra.3
An important special case is where is aprobability measure or, even more specifically, the Diracdelta function. In operational calculus, the Laplace transform of a measure is often treated asthough the measure came from a distribution function. In that case, to avoid potential confusion,one often writes

where the lower limit of 0 is short notation to mean
This limit emphasizes that any point mass located at 0 is entirely captured by the Laplace
transform. Although with the Lebesgue integral, it is not necessary to take such a limit, it doesappear more naturally in connection with the LaplaceStieltjes transform.
Probability theory
In pure and applied probability, the Laplace transform is defined by means of anexpectation value. IfXis a random variable withprobability density function , then the Laplacetransform of is given by the expectation
By abuse of language, this is referred to as the Laplace transform of the random variable Xitself.
Replacing s by t gives the moment generating function ofX. The Laplace transform hasapplications throughout probability theory, including first passage times of stochastic processessuch as Markov chains, and renewal theory.
Exponential Order, Jump Discontinuities and Piecewise Continuous Functions
In calculus, we saw that in some cases, improper integrals diverge, meaning that the limitof the definite integral does not exist. Hence, we may believe that Laplace transform may not existfor some function. Therefore, we present the following definitions and theorems so that we canbetter understand the types of functions for which the Laplace transform exists.4
DEFINITIONExponential Order
A functionf is of exponential orderb if there are numbers b, M> 0, and T >0, such that
f(t) Mebt, fort>T
Note : This definition is the same as showing that limtxf(t)ebt is bounded.
DEFINITIONJump Discontinuity
A function fhas a jump discontinuity at t=c, on the closed interval [a,b] if the one-sidelimits limtc-ft and limtc+ft are finite, but unequal values. f has a jump discontinuity at t=aif limta+ft is a finite value.fhas a jump discontinuity at t=b if limtb-ft is a finite value
DEFINITIONPiecewise Continuous
A functionf is piecewise continuous on the finite interval [a,b] iffis continuous at everypoint in [a,b]except at finitely many points at whichf has a jump discontinuity.

A functionf is piecewise continuous on [0,) iff is piecewise continuous on [0,N], for allN>0.
THEOREM Sufficient condition for existence of L{f(t)}

exponential orderb fort>T. ThenL{f(t)} exists fors>b.Example: Find the Laplace transform of

Solution: Becausef is a piecewise continuous function on [0,) and of exponential order, L{f(t)}exists. We simply use the definition and evaluate the integral using the sum of two integrals.

1.2. Properties and theorems
The Laplace transform has a number of properties that make it useful for analyzing lineardynamical systems. Most of the properties follow directly from our knowledge of integral. One ofthe property is the shifting, or translation property.
THEOREM: Shifting property
IfL{f(t)}=F(s) exists fors>b, then L{eatf(t)} =F(s-a), for s>a+b.
Another property is that the differentiation and integration become multiplication and
division, respectively, bys (similarly to logarithms changing multiplication of numbers to additionof their logarithms). Because of this property, the Laplace variable s is also known as operatorvariable in the L domain: either derivative operator or (fors1) integration operator. Thetransform turns integral equations and differential equations to polynomial equations, which aremuch easier to solve. Once solved, use of the inverse Laplace transform reverts back to the timedomain.
Given the functionsf(t) andg(t), and their respective Laplace transformsF(s) and G(s):

In order to use the Laplace transform to solve differential equations, we will need to be able tocompute the Laplace transform of the derivatives of an arbitrary function, provided the Laplacetransform of such a function exists.
THEOREM:Laplace Transform of the First Derivative
Suppose that f is a piecewise continuous function on the interval [0,) and that it is ofexponential orderb fort>T. Then fors>b,
L{f (t)}=sL{f(t)}-f(0)
Using induction, we can easily verify the following corollary.

The inverse Laplace transform is given by the following complex integral, which is knownby various names (the Bromwich integral, the Fourier-Mellin integral, and Mellin's inverseformula):

If is a locally integrable function (or more generally a Borel measure locally of boundedvariation), then the Laplace transformF(s) of converges provided that the limit
exists. The Laplace transform converges absolutely if the integral
exists (as proper Lebesgue integral). The Laplace transform is usually understood as conditionallyconvergent, meaning that it converges in the former instead of the latter sense.
The set of values for which F(s) converges absolutely is either of the form Re{s} > a orelse Re{s} a, where a is an extended real constant, a . (This follows from thedominated convergence theorem.) The constant a is known as the abscissa of absolute
convergence, and depends on the growth behavior of(t).6
Analogously, the two-sided transformconverges absolutely in a strip of the form a < Re{s} < b, and possibly including the linesRe{s} = a or Re{s} = b.7 The subset of values ofs for which the Laplace transform convergesabsolutely is called the region of absolute convergence or the domain of absolute convergence. Inthe two-sided case, it is sometimes called the strip of absolute convergence. The Laplace transformis analytic in the region of absolute convergence.
Similarly, the set of values for whichF(s) converges (conditionally or absolutely) is known as theregion of conditional convergence, or simply the region of convergence (ROC). If the Laplacetransform converges (conditionally) at s =s0, then it automatically converges for all s withRe{s} > Re{s0}. Therefore the region of convergence is a half-plane of the form Re{s} > a,
possibly including some points of the boundary line Re{s} = a. In the region of convergence Re{s}> Re{s0}, the Laplace transform of can be expressed by integrating by parts as the integral
That is, in the region of convergence F(s) can effectively be expressed as the absolutelyconvergent Laplace transform of some other function. In particular, it is analytic.
A variety of theorems, in the form of PaleyWiener theorems, exist concerning therelationship between the decay properties of and the properties of the Laplace transform withinthe region of convergence.
In engineering applications, a function corresponding to a linear time-invariant (LTI)system is stable if every bounded input produces a bounded output. This is equivalent to the

The functiongis assumed to be ofbounded variation. Ifgis the antiderivative of:
then the LaplaceStieltjes transform ofgand the Laplace transform of coincide. In general, theLaplaceStieltjes transform is the Laplace transform of the Stieltjes measure associated tog. So inpractice, the only distinction between the two transforms is that the Laplace transform is thought ofas operating on the density function of the measure, whereas the LaplaceStieltjes transform isthought of as operating on its cumulative distribution function.8
Fourier transform
The continuous Fourier transform is equivalent to evaluating the bilateral Laplace transform withcomplex arguments = i ors = 2fi :
This expression excludes the scaling factor , which is often included in definitions of the
Fourier transform. This relationship between the Laplace and Fourier transforms is often used todetermine the frequency spectrum of a signal ordynamical system.

The above relation is valid as stated if and only if the region of convergence (ROC) ofF(s)contains the imaginary axis, = 0. For example, the function f(t) = cos(0t)u(t) has a Laplacetransform F(s) =s/(s2 + 02) whose ROC is Re(s) > 0. Therefore, substituting s = i in F(s) doesnot yield the Fourier transform off(t) = cos(0t).
However, a relation of the form
holds under much weaker conditions. For instance, this holds for the above example provided thatthe limit is understood as a weak limit of measures (see vague topology). General conditionsrelating the limit of the Laplace transform of a function on the boundary to the Fourier transformtake the form ofPaley-Wiener theorems.
Mellin transform
The Mellin transform and its inverse are related to the two-sided Laplace transform by a simple
change of variables. If in the Mellin transform
we set = e-t we get a two-sided Laplace transform.
Z-transform
The unilateral or one-sided Z-transform is simply the Laplace transform of an ideally sampledsignal with the substitution of

for some constantsA andB. The generalized Borel transform allows a different weighting functionto be used, rather than the exponential function, to transform functions not of exponential type. Nachbin's theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the Borel transform to be welldefined.
Laplace Transform of an Integral
The Laplace transform of the derivatives of a given function can be found from the Laplacetransform of the function. Similarly, the Laplace transform of the integral of a given function canalso be obtained from the Laplace transform of the function, as stated in the following theorem.
THEOREM:Laplace Transform of an Integral
Suppose that F(s)= L{f(t)}, where f is a piecewise continuous function on [0,) and ofexponential orderb. then fors>b,
L0tf()d=L{f(t)}s
In other words,
L-1L{f(t)}s= 0tf()d
Example: ComputeL-11s(s+2)
Solution: in this case, 1s(s+2) = 1s+2s, soL{f(t)}=1s+2. Therefore,f(t)=L-11s+2=e-2t. with theprevious theorem, we then have:
L-11}s(s+2) = 0te-2d=1-e-2t2
1.2. Properties and theorems applications
The Laplace transform is used frequently in engineering and physics; the output of a lineartime invariant system can be calculated by convolving its unit impulse response with the inputsignal. Performing this calculation in Laplace space turns the convolution into a multiplication; thelatter being easier to solve because of its algebraic form. For more information, see control theory.
The Laplace transform can also be used to solve differential equations and is used extensively inelectrical engineering. The Laplace transform reduces a lineardifferential equation to an algebraicequation, which can then be solved by the formal rules of algebra. The original differentialequation can then be solved by applying the inverse Laplace transform. The English electrical
engineer Oliver Heaviside first proposed a similar scheme, although without using the Laplacetransform; and the resulting operational calculus is credited as the Heaviside calculus.
Example #1: Solving a differential equation
In nuclear physics, the following fundamental relationship governs radioactive decay: the numberof radioactive atomsNin a sample of a radioactive isotope decays at a rate proportional toN. Thisleads to the first order linear differential equation

Finally, we take the inverse Laplace transform to find the general solution

Example #2: Deriving the complex impedance for a capacitor
In the theory ofelectrical circuits, the current flow in a capacitoris proportional to the capacitanceand rate of change in the electrical potential (in SI units). Symbolically, this is expressed by thedifferential equation
where Cis the capacitance (in farads) of the capacitor, i = i(t) is the electric current (in amperes)through the capacitor as a function of time, and v = v(t) is the voltage (in volts) across the terminalsof the capacitor, also as a function of time.
Taking the Laplace transform of this equation, we obtain

Example #3: Method of partial fraction expansion
Consider a linear time-invariant system with transfer function
The impulse response is simply the inverse Laplace transform of this transfer function:
To evaluate this inverse transform, we begin by expanding H(s) using the method ofpartialfraction expansion:

The unknown constantsPandR are the residues located at the correspondingpoles of the transferfunction. Each residue represents the relative contribution of that singularity to the transferfunction's overall shape. By the residue theorem, the inverse Laplace transform depends only uponthe poles and their residues. To find the residue P, we multiply both sides of the equation by s + to get
Then by lettings = , the contribution fromR vanishes and all that is left is
Similarly, the residueR is given by
Note that
and so the substitution ofR andPinto the expanded expression forH(s) gives
Finally, using the linearity property and the known transform for exponential decay (see Item #3 inthe Table of Laplace Transforms, above), we can take the inverse Laplace transform ofH(s) toobtain:
which is the impulse response of the system.

CHAPTER 2
APPLICATIONS OF LAPLACE TRANSFORMS
Circuit Equations
There are two (related) approaches:1. Derive the circuit (differential) equations in the time domain, then transform these ODEs to
thes-domain;
2. Transform the circuit to thes-domain, then derive the circuit equations in thes-domain(using the concept of "impedance").
We will use the first approach. We will derive the system equations(s) in the t-plane, thentransform the equations to thes-plane. We will usually then transform back to the t-plane.
