Laplace transform with Convolution

In summary, the conversation discusses using the convolution theorem to solve a problem involving Laplace transforms and an integral. The solution involves using the property of Laplace transforms for the function in the integral and then using the convolution theorem to find the overall solution.

Homework Statement



Use convolution theorem to solve:

[tex]\mathfrak{L} \left \{t\int_{0}^{t} \sin \tau d\tau \right \}[/tex]

Do not solve the integral.

Homework Equations



"Convolution Theorem" in textbook is stated as:

[tex]\mathfrak{L}\left \{ f*g \right \}=F(s)G(s)[/tex][tex]f*g=\int_{0}^{t} \ f(\tau )g(t-\tau ) d\tau[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



Not quite sure how to approach this one with convolution and not solving the integral.

I need a t-τ instead of a t, but I can't have τ's in my Laplace because they won't go to S-space with any meaning.

Answer in book is :

[tex]\frac{3s^2+1}{s^2(s^2+1)^2}[/tex]working backwards only leads me to a partial fraction type inverse transform.

Thanks in advance for help!

Perhaps the idea is to use the property
$$\mathfrak{L}\{t f(t)\} = -F'(s) $$ where
$$f(t) = \int_0^t \sin \tau \, d\tau, $$ and to find F(s) using the convolution theorem.

Thanks Vela, that's exactly it
 

What is the Laplace transform with Convolution?

The Laplace transform with Convolution is a mathematical operation used to find the output of a linear system when the input is known. It combines the Laplace transform, which converts a time-domain function into a frequency-domain function, with the convolution operation, which calculates the output of a system based on the input and the system's impulse response.

How is the Laplace transform with Convolution performed?

The Laplace transform with Convolution is performed by multiplying the Laplace transform of the input function with the Laplace transform of the system's impulse response. The result is then inverse transformed back into the time domain to obtain the output function.

What are the advantages of using the Laplace transform with Convolution?

The Laplace transform with Convolution allows for the analysis of complex systems with multiple inputs and outputs. It also simplifies the solution process by breaking it into smaller, more manageable steps.

What are the applications of the Laplace transform with Convolution?

The Laplace transform with Convolution has various applications in engineering, physics, and mathematics. It is commonly used in signal processing, control systems, and differential equations to solve problems and analyze systems with time-varying inputs.

What are the limitations of the Laplace transform with Convolution?

The Laplace transform with Convolution is limited to linear systems, as it relies on the principle of superposition. It also requires the system's impulse response to be known, which may not always be the case in practical applications.
