Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Okay, I will help you with specific parts if you want it but if we get egg on our face...

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Hi;
That will yield the inverse?

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
It will at least give me the Cauchy principal value integral they are talking about,

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
hi everybody, i have got a doubt as to if laplace transform of (cos at)/t exists. if it doesnt, please explain as to why.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Hi haron;
The transform of that does exist.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
doesnt tan(t) grow faster than an exponential? then cannot use laplace?

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Hi nich;
Let's say that it does. Why does that mean you can not use the transform?

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
I think L{tan(at)} doesn't exist because of its discontinuities.

Welcome to the forum!
Is that supposed to be the Euler-Mascheroni constant? Where is that coming from?

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Hi;
This was long ago and needs refreshing. That either comes from Alpha or a table. That is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
W|A is giving me that but without that constant. Can't really see where it would come from... I'll try the integration tomorrow.

Alpha is not quite up to the stand alone program.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Make sure you scan it well.
Probably that constant comes from the fact that the answer contains a series that equals it.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Off the top of my head I can only think of the sum of the reciprocals of the natural numbers from 1 to n, minus log(n), as n tends to infinity. I know that yields the Euler-Mascheroni constant. I do not know of any others, maybe there are more.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
Oh yes, there are many more! But no one knows whether it is irrational or not.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
The constant also comes out in the Laplace transform of natural log. Interesting.

Haha, it is the Zeta function! I am going to make a note of that one. I wonder how that can be proven.

Re: Laplace Transform of tan(t)
I am looking at the wiki page now. There are lots involving the gamma function.
