Convolution

Let f(t) and g(t) be two functions of t. The convolution of f(t) and g(t) is also a function of t, denoted

by (𝑓 ∗ 𝑔)(𝑡) and is defined by the relation (𝑓 ∗ 𝑔)(𝑡) = ∫−∞ 𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑢). 𝑔(𝑢)𝑑𝑢

Convolution Theorem
𝑡
If 𝐿−1 {𝐹(𝑠)} = 𝑓(𝑡) and 𝐿−1 {𝐺(𝑠)} = 𝑔(𝑡) then 𝐿−1 {𝐹(𝑠). 𝐺(𝑠)} = ∫0 𝑓(𝑢). 𝑔(𝑡 − 𝑢)𝑑𝑢
𝑡
OR 𝐿−1 {𝐹(𝑠). 𝐺(𝑠)} = ∫0 𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑢). 𝑔(𝑢)𝑑𝑢

Note: Convolution theorem states that if we have two functions, taking their convolution and
then Laplace is the same as taking the Laplace first (of the two functions separately) and then
multiplying the two Laplace Transforms.
Examples:
Use Convolution theorem to find the inverse Laplace transform of following:
