Inverse Laplace Transformation
Definition : The process of retrieving the original function f(t) from its
Laplace transform F(s).
Methodology :
1. Partial Fraction Decomposition for rational expressions.
2. Table Lookup for known transforms.
Example : Let’s consider,
s+3
F ( s )= 2
s + 4 s+13
The inverse transform, using known formulas,would yield a time-domain
solution f(t).
