Relationship To Other Integral Transforms
If u(t) is the Heaviside step function, equal to zero when t is less than zero, to one-half when t equals zero, and to one when t is greater than zero, then the Laplace transform may be defined in terms of the two-sided Laplace transform by
On the other hand, we also have
so either version of the Laplace transform can be defined in terms of the other.
The Mellin transform may be defined in terms of the two-sided Laplace transform by
and conversely we can get the two-sided transform from the Mellin transform by
The Fourier transform may also be defined in terms of the two-sided Laplace transform; here instead of having the same image with differing originals, we have the same original but different images. We may define the Fourier transform as
Note that definitions of the Fourier transform differ, and in particular
is often used instead. In terms of the Fourier transform, we may also obtain the two-sided Laplace transform, as
The Fourier transform is normally defined so that it exists for real values; the above definition defines the image in a strip which may not include the real axis.
The moment-generating function of a continuous probability density function ƒ(x) can be expressed as .

Famous quotes containing the words relationship to, relationship, integral and/or transforms:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

“... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. ... Death does away with time.”
—Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)
