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:

    “The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
