Two-sided Laplace Transform - Properties

Properties

It has basically the same properties of the unilateral transform with an important difference

Properties of the unilateral Laplace transform
Time domain unilateral-'s' domain bilateral-'s' domain
Differentiation
Second Differentiation

To use the bilateral transform is equivalent to assume null initial conditions. Therefore it is more suitable than the unilateral for calculating transfer functions from the differential equations, or when looking for an easy particular solution.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
