The unilateral Laplace transform takes as input a function whose time domain is the non-negative reals, which is why all of the time domain functions in the table below are multiples of the Heaviside step function, u(t). The entries of the table that involve a time delay τ are required to be causal (meaning that τ > 0).
In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace (/ l ə ˈ p l ɑː s /), is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable (usually , in the time domain) to a function of a complex variable (in the complex-valued frequency domain, also known as s-domain, or s-plane).
The Heaviside step function, or the unit step function, usually denoted by H or θ (but sometimes u, 1 or 𝟙), is a step function named after Oliver Heaviside, the value of which is zero for negative arguments and one for positive arguments. Different conventions concerning the value H(0) are in use.
1.2.3 Final Value Theorem for the mean of a function. ... However, the Laplace transform of the unit step response is = + and so the step response converges to ...
Two-sided Laplace transforms are closely related to the Fourier transform, the Mellin transform, the Z-transform and the ordinary or one-sided Laplace transform. If f ( t ) is a real- or complex-valued function of the real variable t defined for all real numbers, then the two-sided Laplace transform is defined by the integral
The rectangular function (also known as the rectangle function, rect function, Pi function, Heaviside Pi function, [1] gate function, unit pulse, or the normalized boxcar function) is defined as [2]
The product of a step function with a number is also a step function. As such, the step functions form an algebra over the real numbers. A step function takes only a finite number of values. If the intervals , for =,, …, in the above definition of the step function are disjoint and their union is the real line, then () = for all .
The term "transfer function" is also used in the frequency domain analysis of systems using transform methods, such as the Laplace transform; it is the amplitude of the output as a function of the frequency of the input signal.
