ilaplace

Inverse Laplace transform.

Category: Mathematics > Calculus

Syntax

f = ilaplace(F, s, t)

Returns the function of t whose Laplace transform is F(s).

Description

Typical inputs are rational functions of s, which are split into simple terms, each with a known inverse: 1/(s+1) gives exp(-t) and 1/(s^2+1) gives sin(t). This is the last step in solving a linear ODE with the Laplace method.

Input arguments

F
Symbolic expression in s.
s
Transform variable.
t
Time variable of the result.

Output arguments

f
Symbolic expression in t.

Example

Back to time

syms s t
ilaplace(1/(s + 1), s, t)
ilaplace(1/(s^2 + 1), s, t)
Output
ans = exp(-t)
ans = sin(t)
