Laplace Transform Of Periodic Function

Laplace Transform of Periodic Function:

A function f (t) is said to be periodic function with periods α > 0, if f (t a) = f (t)

Theorem: if f (t) is a periodic function of period α > 0, then

    

Proof:
   

Substitute, t = u a in the second integral;

                         

Similarly by substituting t = u 2α in the 3rd integrals, we get;

 

∴ equation (2) reduces to;

This completes the proof of the theorem.
