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)]
