Complex Variable Certain definite integrals can be evaluated by the technique of complex variable integration. This is described in the references for Complex Variables. ... 

The Laplace transformation is based upon the Laplace integral which transforms a differential equation expressed in terms of time to an equation expressed in terms of a complex variable a + jco. The new equation may be manipulated algebraically to solve for the desired quantity as an explicit function of the complex variable.

The Laplace transform of a function//) is defined by F(s) = L f(t) = I(Te s/(f) dt, where s is a complex variable. Note that the transform is an improper integral and therefore may not exist for all continuous functions and all values of s. We restrict consideration to those values of s and those functions/for which this improper integral converges. The Laplace transform is used in process control (see Sec. 8). 

The expression in Eq. (10.56) only becomes simple in the special case when the reactants A and B are atoms with no internal degrees of freedom. Then, in the second factor which is related to the gas-phase reaction, Va = Vb = 0, and with no interactions between the reactant molecules, Vint, = 0. The integral over reactant states is therefore simply equal to the square of the volume, V2. The reaction coordinate Q is the distance, r, between the atoms, so the five coordinates involve the center-of-mass coordinates and the rotational coordinates for the linear activated complex. The integrals over them cancel, since both p( ) and V/ t ra are independent of them. There are no other integration variables, so the integrands just take the value they have for <3 = 0. We find... 

This integration over the entire complex plane of frequencies is where the combination of real and imaginary frequencies comes into the formulation of the van der Waals interaction. Recognize the frequency to as a complex variable o> = o>K + with real toR and imaginary components that describe, respectively, oscillation e""R and exponential decay e(see Fig. L3.2) (see also Level 2, Computation, Subsection L2.4.A). 

These zeros uk of QK(u) coincide with the eigenvalues of both the evolution matrix U and the corresponding Hessenberg matrix H from Eqs. (131) and (130), respectively. The zeros of Qk(u) are called eigenzeros. The structure of CM is determined by its scalar product for analytic functions of complex variable z or u. For any two regular functions/(m) and g(u) from CM, the scalar product in CM is defined by the generalized Stieltjes integral ... 

The generalized Dirac function of a complex variable from Eq. (139) belongs to the class of the so-called ultra distributions [2], In the present context, S (z -uk) has the same operational property as the usual Dirac function with a real argument, except that the contour integrals are involved, viz ... 

Here L rj ) is the contour the complex variable z = rj x goes through when the real variable x goes from — oo to + qo. This transformation is valid only if the function g(x) belongs to the domain of the operator w[(f/ ) 1], and it is then easily shown that one may change the integration path from the line back to the real axis. Hence one has the relation... 

The Laplace transform is an integral that transforms a function in the time domain into a new function of a complex variable. Assuming that there is a function fit), we define a new function ... 

A continued overview of complex variables is presented in Appendix A in the context of the complex integration used to establish the Kramers-Kronig relations. 

Chapter 1 provides a framework for the analysis of complex variables. This section provides a summary of important definitions before describing complex integration in greater detail. This work provides support for the discussion of the Kramers-Kronig relatiorts in Chapter 22. For more detailed analysis, the reader is directed to textbooks. " ... 

The recovering of current density from data on electric potential, satisfying Laplace s equation was studied. In experiments, it is difficult or expensive to obtain many measurements and therefore numerical integration cannot be performed. The recovered results revealed high accuracy with synthetic ideal function, as for ideal data, so does for data subjected to high errors. The method uses complex variable theory where one can obtain holomorphic function, related to the electric potential and its derivative related with the current density. 

Laplace transformations are mainly used in signal analysis of electrical circuits for mathematical convenience. Differential and integral equations can often be reduced to nonlinear algebraic equations of the complex variable p in the transform domain. Many of the properties of the Fourier transformation can be taken over simply by substituting (ohy p. Particularly useful are the Laplace transforms L for differentiation and for integration. They can be expressed in terms of the transform F] p) of a function fit) by... 

Biosensors using higher integrated biocatalytic phases, i.e. cell organelles, intact cells, and tissue material, are compared with isolated enzyme sensors. The merits of the former in the determination of complex variables , such as mutagenicity and nutrient content, are outlined.

One of the many applications of the theory of complex variables is the application of the residue theorem to evaluate definite real integrals. Another is to use conformal mapping to solve boundary-value problems involving harmonic functions. The residue theorem is also very useful in evaluating integrals resulting from solutions of differential equations by the method of integral transforms.
