Laplace complex variable

ZnOO 2vto A(.v) + Zw(.s ) where, v is the Laplace complex variable. 

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. 

Solutions derived by Laplace transformation are in terms of the complex variable s. In some cases, it is necessary to retransform the solution in terms of time, performing an inverse transformation... 

The principles of complex variables are useful in the solution of a variety of applied problems, including Laplace transforms and process control (Sec. 8). 

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 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 ... 

Since 0 < a < 1 the exponent in Eq. (137) is 1 — a > 0. The mathematical implication is that M(p) (137) is a multivalued function of the complex variable p. In order to represent this function in the time domain, one should select the schlicht domain using supplementary physical reasons [135]. These computational constraints can be avoided by using the Riemann-Liouville fractional differential operator oDlt a [see definitions (97) and (98)]. Thus, one can easily see that the Laplace transform of... 

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. 

The Laplace transformation [Spil] is obtained from the definition (4.1.1) of the Fourier transformation by introduction of a complex variable p instead of a purely imaginary variable ico. 

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...

The complex variable z (Im z < 0) is homogenetic to a frequency. The resolvent l/(z — L) is the Fourier-Laplace transform of the evolution operator (see Appendix A). Expression (93) shows that the dynamics is reduced to the determination of the matrix element of the resolvent between two observables. Therefore only a reduced dynamics has to be investigated. For that purpose we shall define more precisely the observables and the operators of interest. The theory is formulated in the framework of the Liouville space of the operators and based on hierarchies of effective Liouvillians which are especially convenient to study reduced dynamics at various macroscopic and microscopic timescales (see Appendix B). 

A principal engineering application of the theory of functions of complex variables is to effect the inversion of the so alled Laplace transform. Because the subjects are inextricably linked, we treat them together. The Laplace transform is an integral operator defined as ...

These are the Cauchy-Riemann conditions, and when they are satisfied, the derivative dw/ds becomes a unique single-valued function, which can be used in the solution of applied mathematical problems. Thus, the continuity property of a complex variable derivative has two parts, rather than the one customary in real variables. Analytic behavior at a point is called regular, to distinguish from nonanalytic behavior, which is called singular . Thus, points wherein analyticity breaks down are referred to as singularities. Singularities are not necessarily bad, and in fact their occurrence will be exploited in order to effect a positive outcome (e.g., the inversion of the Laplace transform ).
