Inverse Transformation:

We already discussed Laplace transforms of a functions f(t). If the function in frequency domain F(s) is given, the Inverse Transformation can be determined by taking the partial fraction expansion which will be recognizable as the transform of known functions.

Laplace Transform of Periodic Functions:

Periodic functions appear in many practical problems. Let function f(t) be a periodic function which satisfies the condition f(t) = f(t+T) for all t > 0 where T is period of the function.

Inverse Transformation

The Convolution Integral:

If F(s) and G(s) are the Laplace transforms of f(t) and g(t), then the product of F(s) G(s) = H(s), where H(s) is the Laplace transform of h(t) given by f(t) *g(t) and defined by

The Convolution Integral

Proof:

Let

Inverse Transformation

By definition

By changing the order of integration of the above equation, we have

The Convolution Integral

Put t – τ = y, and we get

Therefore,

Inverse Transformation

τ defines the convolution of functions f(t) and g(t) and is expressed symbolically as

This theorem is very useful in frequency domain analysis.
