Abstract

An integral transformation is denned over a finite interval of the time domain. When the Laplace transform exists, the finite transform yields identical results. However, the finite transform is found to be considerably more general than the Laplace transform. It permits consideration of functions which are not of exponential order, leads to a simple scheme to determine system response, and is applicable to boundary-value problems.
