PROGRESS REPORT

I, Madhab Chandra Giri, Roll No.:7473U216009, hereby declare that the work
entitled “Laplace Transform and Its Application” is being continued by me
under the guidance of Dr. Pinakadhar Baliarsingh, IMA, BBSR.

So far,the progress of my research project is as follows:

1. Laplace Transform:
(a) Definition: The Laplace transform of f is defined by:
Z ∞ Z τ
−st
F (s) = L{f (t)} = e f (t) dt = lim e−st f (t) dt
0 τ →∞ 0

Whenever the limit exists as a finite number. If the limit does not exist, the
integral is said to diverge, and there is no Laplace transform defined for f .
(b) Properties: I have studied the following properties and proved them:
i. Linearity - L(c1 f1 + c2 f2 ) = c1 L(f1 ) + c2 L(f2 )
ii. First Translation - F (s − a) = L{eat f (t)}, for real a, Re(s) > a.
iii. Second Translation - L{ua (t)f (t − a)} = e−as F (s) (a ≥ 0).
d n
n n
iv. Differentiation - ds n F (s) = L{(−1) t f (t)}, for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . (s > α).
R∞
v. Integration - 0 F (x) dx = L{ f (t)
t
} (s > α).
(c) Convolution Theorem:
L{f ∗ g}(s) = F (s)G(s)
Rt
Where f (t) ∗ g(t) = 0 f (τ )g(t − τ ) dτ , and F (s) and G(s) denote the Laplace
transforms of f (t) and g(t) respectively.
(d) Inverse Laplace Transform: If L{f (t)} = F (s), then the inverse Laplace
transform is denoted by L−1 {F (s)} = f (t), t ≥ 0, which maps the Laplace
transform of a function back to the original function.

2. Solution to Differential Equations:


(a) Ordinary Differential Equation:
i. Transforms of Derivative: Suppose g(t) is a differentiable function of
exponential order, that is, |g(t)| ≤ M ect for some M and c. So, L{g(t)}
exists, and furthermore, limt→∞ e−st g(t) = 0 when s > c. Then:
L{g ′ (t)} = −g(0) + sL{g(t)}
Similarly,
L{g ′′ (t)} = s2 G(s) − sg(0) − g ′ (0)
L{g ′′′ (t)} = s3 G(s) − s2 g(0) − sg ′ (0) − g ′′ (0)

(b) Partial Differential Equation: Given a function u(x, t) defined for all t > 0
and assumed to be bounded, applying the Laplace transform in t considering x
as a parameter:
Z ∞
L{u(x, t)} = e−st u(x, t) dt ≡ U (x, s)
0

In applications to PDEs, we need the following:

L{ut (x, t)} = sU (x, s) − u(x, 0)


L{utt (x, t)} = s2 U (x, s) − su(x, 0) − ut (x, 0)
Z ∞
L{ux (x, t)} = e−st ux (x, t) dt = Ux (x, s)
Z0 ∞
L{uxx (x, t)} = e−st uxx (x, t) dt = Uxx (x, s)
0

Future work: Currently, I am delving into Fractional Differential Equations,


exploring their solution methodologies using Laplace Transform techniques. Addi-
tionally, I intend to conduct a detailed study on Fractional Differential Equations
concerning Population Growth dynamics.
