LAPLACE TRANSFORM: Gamma Function
Let
,
with
. Set
. It is easy to see that
F(s) is defined for s > 0. Consider the new variable r = st.
Then we have
,
which implies
,
where the Gamma function
is defined by
The domain of the Gamma function is x > 1. Using integration by part, one can easily prove the fundamental formula
,
which implies (knowing that
)
Consequently, we have
