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:

    “Good gentlemen, look fresh and merrily.
    Let not our looks put on our purposes,
    But bear it as our Roman actors do,
    With untired spirits and formal constancy.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
    —Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
