Table Notes
- This list is not a complete listing of Laplace transforms and only contains some of the more commonly used Laplace transforms and formulas.
- Recall the definition of hyperbolic functions. \[\cosh \left( t \right) = \frac{{{{\bf{e}}^t} + {{\bf{e}}^{ - t}}}}{2}\hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}\sinh \left( t \right) = \frac{{{{\bf{e}}^t} - {{\bf{e}}^{ - t}}}}{2}\]
- Be careful when using “normal” trig function vs. hyperbolic functions. The only difference in the formulas is the “\(+ a^{2}\)” for the “normal” trig functions becomes a “\(- a^{2}\)” for the hyperbolic functions!
- Formula #4 uses the Gamma function which is defined as
\[\Gamma \left( t \right) = \int_{{\,0}}^{{\,\infty }}{{{{\bf{e}}^{ - x}}{x^{t - 1}}\,dx}}\]
If \(n\) is a positive integer then,
\[\Gamma \left( {n + 1} \right) = n!\]The Gamma function is an extension of the normal factorial function. Here are a couple of quick facts for the Gamma function
\[\begin{array}{c}\Gamma \left( {p + 1} \right) = p\Gamma \left( p \right)\\ p\left( {p + 1} \right)\left( {p + 2} \right) \cdots \left( {p + n - 1} \right) =\displaystyle \frac{{\Gamma \left( {p + n} \right)}}{{\Gamma \left( p \right)}}\\ \Gamma \left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right) = \sqrt \pi \end{array}\]
