Lecture notes and summary on integral transformations (Laplace and Fourier), all the rules you need to solve your exercises. The words are in basic English but the math part is easy to grasp.
𝑏
Definition : ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 is said to be convergent if its primitive 𝐹(𝑥) has a finite limit as 𝑡 ⟶
𝑏, and it is said to be divergent in the opposite sense. Note that 𝑏 can be finite (a number) or
infinite (∞).

• Integrals of type ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 :
❖ Analysis by comparison :
Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be two functions such that : ∀𝑥 ≤ 𝑎 ; 0 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 𝑔(𝑥)
+∞ +∞
▪ If ∫𝑎 𝑔(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 converges, then ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 converges.
+∞ +∞
▪ If ∫𝑎 𝑔(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 diverges, then ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 diverges.
❖ Analysis by equivalence :
Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be two functions that are equivalent when 𝑥 ⟶ +∞. Then
+∞ +∞
∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 and ∫𝑎 𝑔(𝑥). 𝑑𝑥 are of the same nature.
+∞ 𝑑𝑥
❖ ∫𝑎 ; 𝑎 > 0, is convergente if and only if 𝛼 > 1.

2. Laplace transformation :
Principle : The Laplace transform transforms a time-domain function 𝑓(𝑡). 𝑢(𝑡) into a
complex-valued function 𝐹(𝑝) ; 𝑝 ∈ ℂ, such that :
+∞
𝑭(𝒑) = ℒ[𝒇(𝒕). 𝒖(𝒕)] = ∫ 𝒇(𝒕)𝒆−𝒑𝒕 . 𝒅𝒕
𝟎
𝑝 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 is called the original, and ℒ(𝑝) is its image.
❖ Theorem 1 : Linearity
ℒ[𝑎𝑓1 + 𝑏𝑓2 ](𝑝) = 𝑎ℒ[𝑓1 ](𝑝) + 𝑏ℒ[𝑓2 ](𝑝)
❖ Theorem 2 : change of scale ; ∀ 𝑓 of summability 𝑥0 .
