Let f:R+→R, where ∣f(t)∣≤Keαtfor some α∈R,K∈R. We define the Laplace Transform of f as L(f)=0∫∞f(t)e−stdtwhere s∈C is s.t. Re(s)>α.
Given some f that follows the setup defined in Laplace Transform we have that L(f˙)=sL(f)−f(0)
Let A∈Mn(R) and suppose for some s∈C we have Re(s)>imaxRe(λi) where λi is the ith eigenvalue of A. Then we have that the Laplace Transform of the matrix exponential of A is as follows: L(eAt)=(sI−A)−1
