This document discusses inverse Laplace transformations and their applications. It covers three cases of inverse Laplace transformations: 1) simple poles that are real and unequal, 2) simple complex conjugate poles, and 3) repeated roots. The document also discusses using the partial fractions expansion method and method of residues to determine inverse Laplace transforms. It provides examples of using the "finger method" to find inverse transforms of functions with simple poles. Additionally, it discusses the initial value theorem and final value theorem, and provides an example of using Laplace transforms to solve a differential equation with zero initial conditions.
3. Inverse LaplaceTransformInverse LaplaceTransform
Consider that F(s) is a ratio of polynomial
expressions
The n roots of the denominator, D(s) are called
the poles
◦ Poles really determine the response and
stability of the system
The m roots of the numerator, N(s), are called
the zeros

4. Inverse LaplaceTransformInverse LaplaceTransform
We will use partial fractions expansion
with the method of residues to determine
the inverse Laplace transform
Three possible cases (need proper
rational, i.e., n>m)
1. simple poles (real and unequal)
2. simple complex roots (conjugate pair)
3. repeated roots of same value

5. 1. Simple Poles1. Simple Poles
Simple poles are placed in a partial fractions
expansion
The constants, Ki, can be found from (use
method of residues)
Finally, tabulated Laplace transform pairs are
used to invert expression, but this is a nice form
since the solution is

Complex poles result in a Laplace transform of the
form
The K1 can be found using the same method as for
simple poles
WARNING: the "positive" pole of the form –α+jβ
MUST be the one that is used

The K1j terms are evaluated from
This actually simplifies nicely until you reach s³
terms, that is for a double root (s+p1)²
Thus K12 is found just like for simple roots
Note this reverse order of solving for the K values

9. The “Finger” MethodThe “Finger” Method
Let’s suppose we want to find the inverse Laplace
transform of
We’ll use the “finger” method which is an easy way
of visualizing the method of residues for the case of
simple roots (non-repeated)
We note immediately that the poles are

10. The Finger Method (cont’d)The Finger Method (cont’d)
For each pole (root), we will write down the
function F(s) and put our finger over the term that
caused that particular root, and then substitute that
pole (root) value into every other occurrence of ‘s’
in F(s); let’s start with s1=0
This result gives us the constant coefficient for the
inverse transform of that pole; here: e–0·t

The initial value theorem states
Oftentimes we must use L'Hopital's Rule:
◦ If g(x)/h(x) has the indeterminate form 0/0 or

The final value theorem states
The initial and final value theorems are useful
for determining initial and steady-state
conditions, respectively, for transient circuit
solutions when we don’t need the entire time
domain answer and we don’t want to perform
the inverse Laplace transform

What would initial and final value theorems find?
First, try the initial value theorem (L'Hopital's too)
Next, employ final value theorem
