The Laplace transform is a wonderful tool for solving ordinary and partial differential equations and has enjoyed much success in this realm. With its success, however, a certain casualness has been bred concerning its application, without much regard for hypotheses and when they are valid. Even proofs of theorems often lack rigor, and dubious mathematical practices are not uncommon in the literature for students. In the present text, I have tried to bring to the subject a certain amount of mathematical correctness and make it accessible to un dergraduates. Th this end, this text addresses a number of issues that are rarely considered. For instance, when we apply the Laplace trans form metho...
REA’s Essentials provide quick and easy access to critical information in a variety of different fields, ranging from the most basic to the most advanced. As its name implies, these concise, comprehensive study guides summarize the essentials of the field covered. Essentials are helpful when preparing for exams, doing homework and will remain a lasting reference source for students, teachers, and professionals. Laplace Transforms includes the Laplace transform, the inverse Laplace transform, special functions and properties, applications to ordinary linear differential equations, Fourier transforms, applications to integral and difference equations, applications to boundary value problems, and tables.
This book is devoted to one of the most critical areas of applied mathematics, namely the Laplace transform technique for linear time invariance systems arising from the fields of electrical and mechanical engineering. It focuses on introducing Laplace transformation and its operating properties, finding inverse Laplace transformation through different methods, and describing transfer function applications for mechanical and electrical networks to develop input and output relationships. It also discusses solutions of initial value problems, the state-variables approach, and the solution of boundary value problems connected with partial differential equations.
There is a lot of literature devoted to operational calculus, which includes the analysis of properties and rules of integral transformations and illustrates their usefulness in different fields of applied mathematics, engineering and natural sciences. The integral transform technique is one of most useful tools of applied mathematics employed in many branches of science and engineering. Typical applications include the design and analysis of transient and steady-state configurations of linear systems in electrical, mechanical and control engineering, and heat transfer, diffusion, waves, vibrations and fluid motion problems. The Laplace transformation receives special attention in literature because of its importance in various applications and therefore is considered as a standard technique in solving linear differential equations. For this reason, this book is centered on the Laplace transformation. (Imprint: Nova)
In anglo-american literature there exist numerous books, devoted to the application of the Laplace transformation in technical domains such as electrotechnics, mechanics etc. Chiefly, they treat problems which, in mathematical language, are governed by ordi nary and partial differential equations, in various physically dressed forms. The theoretical foundations of the Laplace transformation are presented usually only in a simplified manner, presuming special properties with respect to the transformed func tions, which allow easy proofs. By contrast, the present book intends principally to develop those parts of the theory of the Laplace transformation, which are needed by mathematicians, phy...
This introduction to Laplace transforms and Fourier series is aimed at second year students in applied mathematics. It is unusual in treating Laplace transforms at a relatively simple level with many examples. Mathematics students do not usually meet this material until later in their degree course but applied mathematicians and engineers need an early introduction. Suitable as a course text, it will also be of interest to physicists and engineers as supplementary material.
The classical theory of the Laplace Transform can open many new avenues when viewed from a modern, semi-classical point of view. In this book, the author re-examines the Laplace Transform and presents a study of many of the applications to differential equations, differential-difference equations and the renewal equation.
