I Laplace transformation of nested function

[chester20080]

Hello!
I want a formula (if there exists) to find the Laplace transformation of a nested function; a function within a function
For example what is the LT of θ(f(t)), where θ is the step function? Is there already a formula for such things or should I follow the definition integrating etc..?
I have searched similar tables online but I can't find anything so far..Thank you!

There is no hope for nested functions in general.
For step functions we have can do it as long as we can find all the steps.
After all a step function is just a sum of delayed constants.
Example f=1 sin x>0 0 sin x<0
$$\int_0^\infty \! f(t)e^{-s t}\,\mathrm{d}t=\sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k \frac{1}{s} e^{-s k \pi}=\frac{1}{s(1+e^{-s \pi})}=\frac{e^{s \pi}}{s(1+e^{s \pi})}$$
