Laplace transform.

Syntax

Description

L = laplace(F) is the Laplace transform of the scalar symbol F with default independent variable t. The default return is a function of s. The Laplace transform is applied to a function of t and returns a function of s.

If F = F(s), laplace returns a function of t.

By definition

where t is the symbolic variable in F as determined by findsym.

L = laplace(F,t) makes L a function of t instead of the default s.

Here L is returned as a scalar symbol.

L = laplace(F,w,z) makes L a function of z and F a function of w instead of the default variables s and t, respectively.

Examples
