Bilateral Laplace Transform
In mathematics, the two-sided Laplace transform or bilateral Laplace transform is an integral transform equivalent to probability's moment generating function. Two-sided Laplace transforms are closely related to the Fourier transform, the Mellin transform, the Z-transform and the ordinary or one-sided Laplace transform. If ''f''(''t'') is a real- or complex-valued function of the real variable ''t'' defined for all real numbers, then the two-sided Laplace transform is defined by the integral :\mathcal\(s) = F(s) = \int_^\infty e^ f(t)\, dt. The integral is most commonly understood as an improper integral, which converges if and only if both integrals :\int_0^\infty e^ f(t) \, dt,\quad \int_^0 e^ f(t)\, dt exist. There seems to be no generally accepted notation for the two-sided transform; the \mathcal used here recalls "bilateral". The two-sided transform used by some authors is :\mathcal\(s) = s\mathcal\(s) = sF(s) = s \int_^\infty e^ f(t)\, dt. In pure mathematics the argum ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...
