Why can't I substitute a Laplace transform into an integration?

Hi, I was given the attached question and have given my wrong attempt at the answer. I know how to work the answer out (also shown) but I would like to know why my first attempt is wrong.

Many Thanks

First, you calculated u'(t) incorrectly. Second, when you said v=2/s2, you used the definite integral of dv/dt. You need to use the indefinite integral. You can't get rid of the t dependence.
 
Yup, I integrated it by mistake. That now makes it equal zero incidentally.

Awesome, Thanks for for that. Makes sense now.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
