Laplace transform of partial derivatives. Applications
of the Laplace transform in solving partial differential
equations.
Laplace transform of partial derivatives.
Theorem 1. Given the function U(x, t) defined for a x b, t > 0. Let the Laplace transform of U(x, t) be
We then have the following:
1. Laplace transform of ∂U/∂t. The Laplace transform of ∂U/∂t is given by
Proof
2. Laplace transform of ∂U/∂x. The Laplace transform of ∂U/∂x is given by
Proof
3. Laplace transform of ∂2U/∂t2. The Laplace transform of ∂U2/∂t2 is given by

where
Proof
4. Laplace transform of ∂2U/∂x
2. The Laplace transform of ∂U2/∂x2 is given by
Extensions of the above formulas are easily made.
Example 1. Solve
which is bounded for x > 0, t > 0.
Solution. Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the equation with respect to t, we obtain

Rearranging and substituting in the boundary condition U(x, 0) = 6e -3x, we get
Note that taking the Laplace transform has transformed the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential
equation.
To solve 1) multiply both sides by the integrating factor
This gives
which can be written
Integration gives

or
Now because U(x, t) must be bounded as x → ∞, we must have u(x, s) also bounded as x → ∞. Thus we must
choose c = 0. So
and taking the inverse, we obtain
Example 2. Solve
with the boundary conditions
U(x, 0) = 3 sin 2πx
U(0, t) = 0U(1, t) = 0
where 0 < x < 1, t > 0.
Solution. Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the equation with respect to t, we obtain

Substituting in the value of U(x, 0) and rearranging, we get
where u = u(x, s) = L[U(x, t]. The general solution of 1) is
We now wish to determine the values of c1 and c2. Taking the Laplace transform of those boundary conditions that
involve t, we obtain
3) L[U(0, t)] = u(0, s) = 0
4) L[U(1, t)] = u(1, s) = 0
Using condition 3) [u(0, s) = 0] in 2) gives
5) c1 + c2 = 0
Using condition 4) [u(1, s) = 0] in 2) gives
From 5) and 6) we find c1 =0, c2 = 0. Thus 2) becomes
