LAPLACE TRANSFORM
Laplace transform has been a powerful method for solving linear ODEs, their
corresponding initial-value problems, and systems of linear ODEs. To obtain functions from
their Laplace transforms, the inverse Laplace transform has to be introduced at the same time.
3.1.DEFINITIONS OF LAPLACE TRANSFORM AND
INVERSE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
Definition 3.1.1.
The Laplace transform is an integral operator to a function on , denoted by
or , and is defined by
. (3.1.1)
The inverse Laplace transform of , denoted by or , is defined by
(3.1.2)
if the function is determined from the function in (3.1.1). The Laplace and inverse
Laplace transforms are named after P. Laplace1.
1Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace, March 23, 1749 March 5, 1827, was a French mathematician andastronomer, and was born in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy. He formulated Laplaces equation, and pioneered
the Laplace transform which appears in many branches of mathematical physics, a field that he took a leadingrole in forming. The Laplacian differential operator, widely used in applied mathematics, is also named after him.
He is remembered as one of the greatest scientists of all time, sometimes referred to as a French Newton orNewton of France, with a phenomenal natural mathematical faculty superior to any of his contemporaries
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Simon_Laplace).

First of all, for convenience, will be used for in (3.1.1), and
will also be used for in (3.1.2). Secondly, Laplace transform is a
linear operation, meaning

simple example, for , with being a constant,

It then follows immediately from (3.1.4) that and
. (3.1.5)
Finally, in practical applications, we do not often actually evaluate integrals to get either
the Laplace transform or inverse Laplace transform. Instead, we rely on their properties as
well as a table that includes Laplace transforms of commonly used elementary functions.
Table 3.1.1 is the first of such a table. A more comprehensive table will be given in Section
3.10.

Regarding the generic existence of the Laplace transform for a given function , a
sufficient condition is that the function does not grow too fast.

3.6.SOLVING INITIAL-VALUE PROBLEMS

Due to the special property of the Heaviside function, we can use the Laplace transform
to solve initial-value problems with discontinuous inputs.

3.7.SHORT IMPULSE AND DIRACS DELTA FUNCTIONS
To describe the action of voltage over a very short period of time, or the phenomena of an
impulsivenature, we need the Diracs delta function.

3.9.APPLICATION OF LAPLACE TRANSFORM
TO ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
Laplace transform can also be applied to find the capacity and/or current of various
electric circuits such as capacitor (C), capacity discharge, resistor-capacitor (RC), resistor-inductor (RL), and resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuits.
Let be the charge on the capacitor at time , denoted by . Then the current of
a typical RLC circuit at time is satisfies the ODE
, (3.9.1)
where is the inductance, represents the resistance, denotes the capacitance, and
is the electromotive force which is normally given by with a constant. Take the
derivative of (3.9.1) to get
. (3.9.2)
With appropriate initial conditions, e.g., the charge on the capacitor and current in the
circuit are and , i.e., and , the ODE (3.9.2) can be
solved by using the Laplace transform, as shown in Section 3.4.
