    Inverse Laplace

Hello,

When evaluating the step response of a circuit, the resulting Laplace representation is:
$\frac{I_{pd}}{s^2 C1 R1}$

If I look this up on a table of Laplace Transforms, this results in $\frac{I_{pd}*t}{C1 R1}$.

However, I'm struggling to solve this via partial fraction expansion--is there a special trick or step I need to take that would enable me to arrive at the same solution? I don't see where I'm going wrong.

Thanks!

\frac{I_{pd}R,sC1R1}
I cannot read this. please write it in another way. It seems to be something like:

IR / (C1*R1) * ( 1 / s ) which is simply a step function.
 
Sorry, my latex is rusty and i can't figure out how to make it work.
So, here it is directly Ipd/(R1*C1*s^2).

In time domain, this results in t*Ipd/(R1*C1). My problem is I can't seem to get there via partial fraction expansion...

There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
