Laplace transform of a series in time t

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that it is standard practice to investigate the convergence of a series using the Laplace transform. By applying the Laplace transform to a series of functions ${f}_{1}, {f}_{2}, ...$ dependent on the variable $t$, one can derive conditions on the Laplace variable $s$ that indicate the convergence of the series. These conditions directly inform the convergence criteria for the original variable $t$. This method is effective for analyzing point-wise convergence in series.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Laplace transforms
  • Knowledge of series convergence criteria

Hi

I have a series

${f}_{1}$ , ${f}_{2}$, ... that are all a functions of a variable $t$

I am seeking a point-wise convergence. to investigate the convergence of the series I took Laplace transform. If I can find a condition on the Laplace variable $s$, can I find the condition of convergence of the series on $t$.

is it normal to investigate convergence of series via Laplace transform ?
thanks

Yes, it is normal to investigate the convergence of a series via Laplace transform. The Laplace transform can be used to determine the conditions on the Laplace variable $s$ for which the series converges. This then allows us to determine the conditions on the original variable $t$ for which the series converges.
