Reviews of the Laplace transformation
Definition
The Laplace transformation
The Laplace transform of a function f(t), defined for all realnumbers t > 0, is the function F (s), defined by
F (s) = L(f(t)
)=
∫ +∞
0e−stf(t)dt.
Properties
Linearity;Transform of derivatives and integrals;s-Shifting and t-Shifting.
Some known transforms
Standard functions;The Heaviside function u(t− a);The Dirac delta function δ(t− a).
Question 1: Finding the Laplace transform of givenfunctions
Generally, the standard approach is to use definition.However, in order to simplify calculation (otherwise stated),we can make use of known properties for the Laplacetransform.(a) Since the given function t2e−3t is of the form ectf(t), wecan make use of the s-Shifting property, that is,
L(ectf(t)
)= F (s− c), where F (s) = L
(f(t)
).
Precisely,L(e−3t t2︸︷︷︸
f(t)
) = F (s+ 3).
It suffices to find L(t2). Since
L(tn) = n!
sn+1,
we find that F (t2) = 2s3
. Thus, L(e−3tt2) = 2
(s+ 3)2.

Question 1: Finding the Laplace transform of givenfunctions
(b) In this question, we encounter L(f(t− a)u(t− a)) wheref is given and u is the Heaviside function. Remember thet-Shifting property saying that
L(f(t− a)u(t− a)
)= e−asF (s), where F (s) = L
(f(t)
).
In our context, clearly a = 2 which forces f(t− 2) = t.Hence f(t) = t+ 2. Therefore,
L(f(t)
)= L(t+ 2) = L(t) + L(2) = 1

s.
In conclusion,
L(tu(t−2)
)= L

NB: The Heaviside function is a cut-off function, see also .
Question 2: Finding the inverse Laplace transform ofgiven functions
(b) In this case, we aim to find L−1(e−2s 1+2s
s3
)which is of
the form L−1(e−asF (s)). In order to do this, we make useof the t-Shifting property, that is,
L−1(e−asF (s)) = f(t− a)u(t− a).
Before we apply that formula, it is clear to see thatF (s) = 1+2s
s3. Therefore, we can write
F (s) =1
s3+

s2.
Hence,
f(t) = L−1(F (s)) = L−1(

s3
)+ 2L−1
(1

2+ 2t.
Since a = 2, we get L−1(e−2s 1+2s

)= ( t

Question 3: Solving initial value problems for ODEs
To solve IVPs for ODEs,
we simply take the Laplace transform of both sides toget an algebraic equation for the Laplace transform ofthe solution;
once this algebraic equation is solved, taking the inverseLaplace transform leads us to the solution we need.
(a) For the equation y′ = tu(t− 2), we get by taking theLaplace transform both sides that
sY (s)− y(0)︸ ︷︷ ︸L(y′(t))
= e−2s(

s2+

s
)︸ ︷︷ ︸L(tu(t−2))
.
Therefore, thanks to y(0) = 4,
Y (s) = e−2s1 + 2s

s.
By taking the inverse transform, y(t) = ( t2
2 − 2)u(t− 2) + 4.

Question 3: Solving initial value problems for ODEs
(b) For the equation y′′ − 2y′ = 4, we get after taking theLaplace transform both sides that
s2Y (s)− sy(0)− sy′(0)︸ ︷︷ ︸L(y′′(t))
−2(sY (s)− y(0)︸ ︷︷ ︸L(y′(t))
) =4
s︸︷︷︸L(4)
.
Thanks to y(0) = 1 and y′(0) = 0, we find that
Y (s) =s2 − 2s+ 4
s(s2 − 2s).
To find L−1(Y (s)
), we should write
Y (s) =1
s− 2− 2
s2.
Therefore,
y(t) = L−1(Y (s)) = L−1(

Question 4: The Laplace transform for the function tf(t)
By definition, we need to prove∫ +∞
0e−sttf(t)dt = −
(∫ +∞

)′.
Notice that the integral on the right in the above equation isthe so-called parameter-dependent integral. By the chainrule (keep in mind that ′ = d

0e−stf(t)dt
)′=
∫ +∞
0(e−stf(t))′dt
= −∫ +∞
0te−stf(t)dt,
which concludes the proof.
Since L(sin t
)= 1
1+s2, we obtain
L(t sin t) = −(

Question 4: The Laplace transform for the function tf(t)
By taking the Laplace transform of both sides ofy′′ + y = cos t, we get
s2Y (s)− sy(0)− sy′(0)︸ ︷︷ ︸L(y′′(t))

.
Thanks to the initial conditions, we obtain
Y (s) =s
(1 + s2)2.
Thus, from the previous calculation, there holds
y(t) =1
2t sin t.
NB: This is a particular case of the general solution
x(t) =F0

Question 5: The effect of rogue waveIn view of the Newton second law, weget
Mx =Mg − ρA(d+ x)g,
representing the situation in the ab-sence of friction. We need an ex-tra term to account for the suddenforce exerted by the rogue wave, sayF. Since the force is exerted sud-dently, this suggests that we need aDirac delta function, so the force willbe proportional to δ(t− T ).

Since∫ +∞0 δ(t− T )dt = 1, one can conclude that the force
Hence, our expression for X(s) does indeed tend to thesame expression for X(s) as in Q5 if we let τ tend to 0.That’s as expected because the impulse should be like adelta function if τ is small. In this case,
In physics and engineering, the Fourier transform plays animportant role.
The Fourier transformation
If the function f : R→ C is integrable, we can define theFourier transform by
f(ξ) = F(f) =∫ +∞
−∞f(x) e−2πixξdx, i =
√−1
and the inverse Fourier transform by
f(x) = F−1(f) =∫ +∞
−∞f(ξ) e2πiξxdξ, i =
√−1.
The motivation for the Fourier transform comes from thestudy of Fourier series where complicated functions arewritten as the sum of simple waves mathematicallyrepresented by sines and cosines.
