Definition 1: The unit step function u (t ) is defined by
0, t < 0

1, t ≥ 0
Suppose a ≥ 0 , what’s u (t − a ) ?

 1, a ≤ t < b
Also, we use notation uab (t ) = u (t − a ) − u (t − b) = 

Property 1: Let F ( s ) = L( f )( s ) , and a ≥ 0 . We have
L( f (t − a )u (t − a ))( s ) =

Property 2: L( g (t )u (t − a ))( s=

Looking at the following differential equations coming from the modeling of on/off
switches, changes. The current I in an LC series circuit is governed by the initial value
problem:
(1)
I ''(t ) + 4 I (t )= g (t ), I (0)= 0, I '(0)= 0
where

Example : Solve the above initial value problem.
Definition 2: A function f (t ) is said to be periodic of period of T if f (=

all t in the domain of f.
Property 3: If f has period T and is piecewise continuous on [0,T], then
