Inverse Laplace Transform

The Inverse Laplace Transform is a mathematical operation that converts functions from the complex frequency domain back to the time domain. Techniques for finding the inverse include Table Lookup, Partial Fraction Decomposition, and Completing the Square. Examples illustrate how to apply these techniques to derive time-domain functions from their Laplace transforms.

DEFINITION
The Inverse Laplace Transform is a mathematical operation that
reverses the effect of the Laplace Transform, converting a function
from the complex frequency domain (often denoted as s-domain) back
to the time domain (t-domain).

ℒ −1 Ϝ 𝑠 = f(t)

In other words, it is the inverse process of Laplace Transform:

ℒ 𝑓 𝑡 =F 𝑠 ℒ −1 Ϝ 𝑠 = f(t)

01 Table Lookup Method

• Use a standard Laplace transform table to directly match 𝐹(𝑠)F(s)


with known time-domain functions.
• Best for simple or common forms.
