What is Transform: Definition and 1000 Discussions
In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after its inventor Pierre-Simon Laplace (), is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable
t
{\displaystyle t}
(often time) to a function of a complex variable
s
{\displaystyle s}
(complex frequency). The transform has many applications in science and engineering because it is a tool for solving differential equations. In particular, it transforms linear differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication.For suitable functions f, the Laplace transform is the integral
Hi, let's take this ode:
y''(t) = f(t),y(0)=0, y'(0)=0.
using the FT it becomes:
-w^2 Y(w) = F(w)
Y(w)=( -1/w^2 )F(w)
so i can say that -1/w^2 is the Fourier transorm of the green's function(let's call it G(w)).
then
y(t) = g(t) * f(t)
where
g(t) = F^-1 (G(w)) (inverse Fourier transorm)
how can...

Hi,
I noticed that in some cases we first call fit_transform(), and afterwards we call transform(). Like in the following example:

X_test = np.array([6, 8, 11, 16]).reshape(-1, 1)...

Hi, the three main types of complex matrices are:

2. Skew-Hermitian , with only imaginary eigenvalues
3. Unitary, with only complex conjugates.
Shouldn't there be a fourth type:
4. Non-unitary-non-hermitian, with one imaginary value (i.e. 3i) and a...
