Contents
• Definition and properties of Laplace Transform.

step function and unit impulse function.
• Applications of Laplace Transform to solve ordinary differential
equation, simultaneous differential equation, integral and
integro-differential equation.

1.1 Introduction

Pierre-simon laplace (1749-1827) was


french mathematician, astronomer and
physicist who made important tool laplace
transform is widely used in engineering
application.

1.2 Why Laplace Transform?


Using laplace transformation, we can solve an equation (or system of
equation) containing differential and integral term by transform the
equation in t-space (time domain) to one in S-space (Frequency domain).
Mathematically Transform means to change the form of (a figure,
expression, model, etc) without in general changing the values.
Transformation is mathematical device which convert one function into
another.

1.3 Definition
Let f(t) be a function of t defined on [0, ).
The laplace transform of f(t) is defined and denoted by

L f  t  =  e-st f  t  dt = f  s 
0

where
L  Laplace transform operator,
f(t)  function depend on time t

f  s   function depend on frequency S

Note :

(1) Laplace Transform of f(t) is denoted by f  s  or F(s)

ie. L f  t   f s 

(2) Laplace Transform of f(t) exist only if


(i) f(t) must be piecewise condition

(ii) f(t) must be of exponential order, f  t   Met , t  0

Geometrically the graph of f(t) does not grow faster than the graph
of exponential function.

Ex.1. Find Laplace Transform of f(t) = e2t or L e2t  .
