Laplace Transforms: Example Important Solved Problems with formula, steps, derivation and answer based on Convolution Theorem.
CONVOLUTION THEOREM
"Reverse,
shift, multiply and integrate" technique is called CONVOLUTION.
Reverse :
[L‒1F(s)]t=u = f(u)
Shift :
g (t‒u)
Multiply : f(u)
g (t‒u)
Integrate :
0ʃt f(u) g(t‒u)
du = f*g
= Convolution of f and g.
Example 1:
Define convolution.
Solution:
The convolution of two functions f(t)
and g (t) is defined as
f(t) * g (t) = 0ʃt f(u) g (t − u) du
Example 2: (a) Prove that f(t) * g(t) = g(t) * f(t).
Solution:
f(t)
* g (t) = 0ʃt f(u)
g (t − u) du
We
know that,
0ʃa f(x) dx = 0ʃa f(a−x) dx
= 0ʃt f(t−u) g [t−( t−u)] du = 0ʃt f(t−u) g (u) du
=
0ʃt g(u) f(t−u) du
= f(t)
* g (t)
Note:
Convolution Integral or Falting integral.
Example 2: (b) Write the value of t*et.
Solution:
By
definition of convolution, we have

Example 3: State and prove convolution
theorem.
Statement:
If
f(t) and g (t) are functions defined
for t ≥ 0,
then
L [f(t) * g (t)] = L [f(t)] . L [g (t)], where
f(t)
* g (t) = 0ʃt f(u)
g (t − u) du (OR) 0ʃt
f(t − u) g (u) du
Proof:
We know that, L [f(t)] = 0ʃ∞ e‒st f(t) dt

i.e.,
L[f(t) * g (t)] = L[f(t)].
L[g (t)] = F(s) . G(s),
where L[f(t)]
= F(s)
L[g
(t)] = G(s)
L‒1[F(s) G(s)] = f(t)*g(t)
=
L‒1[F(s)] * L‒1[G(s)]
