Homework Statement



Hi.

I need help to resolve the inverse laplace transform of {1/((x^2)+1)^2}2. The attempt at a solution

I have tried to do:

{(1/((x^2)+1) * (1/((x^2)+1)}

then, convolution, sen x

But, isn't working

Thanks for your help :)

Using usual notation you would use ##s## as the variable in transform space:$$
\mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {(s^2+1)^2}$$Forum rules require you to show some effort. So what did you get for$$
\mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {s^2+1}\text{?}$$Then show us what your convolution integral looks like and where you are stuck.

yes, sorry. is:

$$
\mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {(s^2+1)^2}$$

so

$$
\mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {(s^2+1)} * \frac 1 {(s^2+1) }$$

then

f(τ) = sen τ
g(t-τ) = sen (t-τ)

∫ sen τ * sen (t-τ) dτ

Integration by parts

u= sen (t-τ)
du = -cos(t-τ)

dv= sen τ dτ
v= -cos τ


∫ sen τ * sen (t-τ) dτ = u= -(sen (t-τ) * cos τ) - ∫ cos τ * cos(t-τ)

Integration by parts, again... not working

maybe, another theorem... I don't know

use a trig "difference formula": [itex]sin(t- \tau)= sin(t)cos(\tau)- cos(t)sin(\tau)[/itex] so that your integral becomes
[tex]\int sin(\tau)sin(t- \tau) d\tau= \int sin(\tau)[cos(\tau)sin(\tau)- cos(t)sin(\tau)]d\tau[/tex]
[tex]= sin(t)\int sin(\tau)cos(\tau) d\tau- cos(t)\int sin^2(\tau)d\tau[/tex]

Since Halls has already responded to your problem, I will just point out that the above isn't what you mean. You take the convolution after the inverse, so you want$$
\mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {(s^2+1)} * \mathcal L^{-1}\frac 1 {(s^2+1) }$$

thanks :)
 

1. What is an inverse Laplace transform?

An inverse Laplace transform is a mathematical operation that takes a function in the Laplace domain and converts it back to the original function in the time domain.

2. How do you find the inverse Laplace transform?

The inverse Laplace transform can be found using various techniques such as partial fraction decomposition, method of residues, or the convolution theorem.

3. What is the Laplace transform of 1/(x^2+1)^2?

The Laplace transform of 1/(x^2+1)^2 is (1/2)*(e^-t)*(sin(t)).

4. Can the inverse Laplace transform be calculated for all functions?

No, the inverse Laplace transform can only be calculated for functions that have a Laplace transform.

5. Why is the inverse Laplace transform important in science?

The inverse Laplace transform is important in science because it allows us to solve differential equations and analyze complex systems in the time domain, making it a valuable tool in various fields such as engineering, physics, and mathematics.
