System DynamicsChapter 2: Laplace Transformation
2.1 Introduction
Laplace transform is a technique for solving differential equations by reducing them to algebraic
equations. It is based on the transformation of a function f(9 from time domain into complex frequency
domain F(s).
Let f(@) be a given function that is defined for all > 0, the Laplace transform of f(f) is defined as
F(s)=f we "f (Odd
Example 2.1
Find the Laplace transform of the unit step function with f(t) = 1 for ¢>0
