I am studying the Laplace Transform, and I was rather puzzled to find
that the standard tables in the two textbooks we have -- and even the
tables I found at the Wolfram Research site -- do not provide an
inverse transform for the function F(s) = s.
In fact, the Wolfram site does not even give the inverse transform for
F(s) = 1, although my text gives that as the Dirac Delta function of
t. However, judging from one of the homework problems, the text I
have seems to clearly imply that the inverse of F(s) = s is the
derivative with respect to time of the Dirac Delta function of t.
However (i) I have no idea how they figure that out, and (ii) I can't
even imagine what the derivative of the Dirac Delta function would be.
Can anyone help me out on either score?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
