• Ex: Show that L{ f(t)u(t-a) }=e-asL{ f(t+a) }

Proof: L(f(t-a)u(t-a)}=e-asF(s) (1)

Let f(t-a)=g(t) then f(t)=g(t+a), put in (1)

L{g(t)u(t-a)}=e-asL{g(t+a)}, change from g to f simply

L{f(t)u(t-a)}=e-asL{f(t+a)},

Ex: ?)}1(2

Convolution• Convolution of f(t) and g(t), h(t) is defined as:

Convolution Theorem

Let H(s), F(s), and G(s) denote the laplace transforms of h(t), f(t), and g(t).

If h is the convolution of f and g, h=f* g then

H(s)=F(s)G(s)

h(t)=L-1{F(s)G(s)}

Example:

Laplace transform of tf(t)
