List of the Properties of The Laplace Transform
Table $ 1 $ provides a list of the properties of the Laplace transform. The last property (on convolution) will be proved later. There are other properties, but these are enough for present purposes. Table $ 2 $ summarizes the Laplace transforms of some common functions. We have omitted the factor $ u(t) $ except where it is necessary.
| Table 1: Properties of the Laplace Transform | |||
| Property | $f (t)$ | $F (s)$ | |
| Linearity | $a_1f_1(t) + a_2f_2(t)$ | $a_1F_1(s) + a_2F_2(s)$ | |
| Scaling | $f (at)$ | ${1 \over a} F \left({s \over a}\right)$ | |
| Time shift | $f (t − a)u(t − a)$ | $e−asF (s)$ | |
| Frequency shift | $e^{−at}f (t)$ | $F (s + a)$ | |
| Time differentiation | $df/dt$ | $sF (s) − f (0_−)$ | |
| $df^2/dt^2$ | $s^2F (s) − sf (0_−) − f'(0_−)$ | ||
| Time integration | $\int_0^t f (t) dt$ | ${1 \over s} F(s)$ | |
| Frequency differentiation | $tf (t)$ | $-{d \over ds} F (s)$ | |
| Frequency integration | $f (t)/t$ | $\int_s^\infty F (s) ds$ | |
| Time periodicity | $f (t) = f (t + nT )$ | ${F_1(s) \over 1 − e^{−sT}}$ | |
| Initial value | $f (0^+)$ | $\lim_{s→∞}sF (s)$ | |
| Final value | $f (\infty)$ | $\lim_{s→0}sF (s)$ | |
| Convolution | $f_1(t) ∗ f_2(t)$ | $F_1(s) F_2(s)$ | |
