DEFINITION OF THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
The Two-Sided Laplace Transform

The Laplace transform converts the general time-domain function f(t) into a
corresponding s- or complex frequency-domain representation, F(s).
The Two-Sided Inverse Laplace Transform

The real constant σ0 is included in the limits to ensure convergence of

this improper integral

 In particular, note that we obtain, for t0 = 0.

Sifting property.

Since the function δ(t − t0) is zero everywhere except at t = t0, the value of
this integral is simply f (t0). The property turns out to be very useful in simplifying integral
expressions containing the unit-impulse function.

TECHNIQUES
The Linearity Theorem

The Laplace transform of a constant times a function is equal to

the constant times the Laplace transform of the function.

Rational Functions

The criterion for this is that V(s) must be a rational function for which the
degree of the numerator N(s) must be less than that of the denominator D(s). If
it is not, we must first perform a simple
division step, as shown in the following example.
