Inverse Laplace transform by method of residue

If s is considered as complex, then the inverse Laplace


transform F (t) of f (s) is given by
Z a+i
1
F (t) = f (s)e st ds,
2i ai

where the integration is along Re(s) = a is a vertical line.


We can use the method of residues to find inverse Laplace
transform.

Inverse Laplace transform by method of residue
The following theorem is to be used for evaluating inverse Laplace
transform.
Theorem
If the Laplace transform f (s) of F (t) is an analytic function of s, except at a
finite number of singular points-the poles-each of which lies to the left of the
vertical line Re(s) = a and if sf (s) is bounded as s approaches infinity
through the half-plane Re(s) a, then

Solution : We can see that lim sf (s) = 1 which is bounded. The poles
s
are found to be s = 1, 2, 3 which are all simple poles. In order to
evaluate the inverse Laplace transform using (2), we need to calculate
the residues of the function due to the poles. We get

R1 = (residue at s = 1) = e t ,

R2 = (residue at s = 2) = 9e 2t ,
15
R3 = (residue at s = 3) = e 3t .

Therefore

Application of Laplace transform in solving PDEs
The Laplace transform of a function u(x, t) with respect to t is defined
as Z
L{u(x, t)} = u(x, s) = e st u(x, t) dt. (3)

The Laplace transforms of the partial derivatives
2 2
u(x, t), u(x, t), u(x, t), u(x, t) are as follows:
t x t 2 x 2
 

L u(x, t) = s u(x, s) u(x, 0), (4)

Example: (First order PDE) Find a bounded solution of the
following problem
u u
=2 +u subject to u(x, 0) = 6 e 3x , x > 0, t > 0.
x t
Solution : Taking Laplace transform on both sides of the
given PDE and using the initial condition,

d u
(2s + 1)u = 12e 3x .
dx
After finding the integrating factor,
6
u(x, s) = e 3x + C e (2s+1)x .
s +2

MA201(2017):PDE
Now u(x, t) should be bounded when x, t .
Note that limt0 u(x, t) = lims s u(x, s).
Thus boundedness of u(x, t) at t = 0 implies that s u(x, s)
should also be bounded as s and we take C = 0.

u(x, s) = e 3x .

Taking the inverse transform

u(x, t) = 6e (2t+3x) .

Example: (Second order PDE: Heat Equation) Consider the
following one-dimensional heat conduction equation
u 2u
= , 0 < x < 1, t > 0
t x 2
subject to the following conditions:
u(0, t) = 1, u(1, t) = 1, t > 0; u(x, 0) = 1+sin x, 0 < x < 1.
Solution : Taking Laplace transform on both sides and
applying the given initial condition,

d2
u(x, s) s u(x, s) = (1 + sin x).

The complementary function and the particular integral of the
above equation can be derived as

uc (x, s) = Ae sx + Be sx
,
1 sin x
up (x, s) = + ,
s s + 2
MA201(2017):PDE
Now as u(x, s) = uc (x, s) + up (x, s), we get
1 sin x
u(x, s) = Ae sx
+ Be sx
+ + . (8)
s s + 2
Convert the boundary conditions in u(x, t) to boundary conditions in
1
u(x, s): u(0, t) = 1 u(0, s) = ,
s

u(1, t) = 1 u(1, s) =

Using these in (8)

1 1

+ Be s + Ae s + Be s = 0.

Both these conditions together imply A = 0 = B.

u(x, s) =

Solution is obtained by taking the inverse

u(x, t) = 1 + e t sin x. (10)

Utt = c 2 Uxx + sin sin(at), 0 < x < L, t > 0, a R is a constant
L
U(0, t) = 0, U(L, t) = 0, t > 0,
U(x, 0) = 0, Ut (x, 0) = 0, 0 < x < L.

Taking Laplace transform on the equation, it gets reduced to

Taking transforms on the boundary conditions
