Sumudu Transform - Formal Definition

Formal Definition

The Sumudu transform of a function f(t), defined for all real numbers t ≥ 0, is the function Fs(u), defined by:

S\{f(t)\} = F_s(u) = \int_0^\infty (1/u)e^{-t/u}f(t)\,dt.\qquad(1)

Watugala first advocated the transform as an alternative to the standard Laplace transform, and gave it the name Sumudu transform. It was early adopted by Weerakoon, and later by others.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or definition:

    “There must be a profound recognition that parents are the first teachers and that education begins before formal schooling and is deeply rooted in the values, traditions, and norms of family and culture.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    “The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
