Differential Equations
Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925)
Heaviside was a self-taught English electrical engineer, mathematician, and
physicist who adapted complex numbers to the study of electrical circuits,
invented mathematical techniques to the solution of differential equations
(later found to be equivalent to Laplace transforms. He changed the face of
mathematics and science for years to come.

Dy = y
Hence, we can know the solution of the equation Dy = y should be of the form
y = e x or y = Ce x

Dy = ky
Similarly, we can know the solution of the equation Dy = ky should be of the

Fourier Transform
The Fourier Transform
X ( f ) = x ( t ) e jt dt
The usefulness of the Fourier transform is limited by a series drawback:

if we try to evaluate the Fourier integral, we find that the integral does not
converge for most signals x(t), i.e.,
x (t ) = sin 0t
X ( f ) = sin 0t e jt dt
0
X ( ) =
j e jt sin 0t 0e jt cos 0t

sin 0t e dt =
02 2
je j sin 0e j cos + 0
X ( ) =
02 2
But what are sin and cos ?
6/61
Circumvent the Problem

The Laplace transform offers a way to circumvent this problem.
The evaluation of the Fourier integral would be simpler if the function x(t)
would approach zero for every large values of t. The solution of the Fourier
integral becomes possible if x(t) is multiplied by a damping function e t ,
where is a positive real number.
X ( f , ) = x ( t ) e t e jt dt

For x (t ) = sin 0t
X ( f , ) = sin 0t e t e jt dt

The Fourier Transform of the Sinusoid

The Fourier integral X (, ) is obtained with x(t) multiplied by a damping
function:
X ( , ) =
02 + ( + j )
The Fourier integral X(f) is now obtained by letting 0 ( e - t e0 = 1)

X ( ) =
0
02 2
Thus the Fourier transform of any function x(t) is obtained by first introducing
a damping function e - t evaluating the integral for > 0 and finally
letting 0 .

Definition of the Laplace Transform

As we said, the evaluation of the Fourier integral would be simpler if
the function x(t) is multiplied by a damping function e t , where is a
positive real number.
X ( f , ) = x ( t ) e t e jt dt
0
X ( f , ) = x ( t ) e
( + j )t
dt
Define s = + j , where s is called the complex frequency

X ( f , ) = X ( + j ) = X ( s )
X ( s ) = x ( t ) e st dt
This is the definition of

the Laplace transform
The Fourier transform can be obtained by letting 0, i.e. s = j

X ( ) = X ( s ) s = j

Basic Theorems of Linearity

Consider the Laplace transform of a function f(t) is
L f ( t ) = F ( s )
Let K represent an arbitrary constant, we have

L Kf (t ) = K L f ( t ) = KF ( s )
Let f1(t) and f2(t) represent any arbitrary functions, we have

L f1 (t ) + f2 ( t ) = L f1 ( t ) + L f2 (t ) = F1 ( s ) + F2 ( s )
It is mentioned here that

L f1 (t ) f2 ( t ) F1 ( s ) F2 ( s )

Degree or Order
Most transforms of interest in circuit analysis turn out to be expressed
as ratios of polynomials in the Laplace variables s. Define the
transform function F(s) as
F (s ) =
N (s )
D (s )
Numerator polynomial
N ( s ) = ans n + an 1s n 1 + + a0
order = n (means n roots)
Denominator polynomial
D ( s ) = bms m + bm 1s m 1 + + b0
order = m (means m roots)

Zeros and Poles

Denominator polynomial D ( s ) = bm s m + bm 1s m 1 + + b0
can also be completely specified by its roots except for a constant
multiplier bm in factored form as
D ( s ) = bm ( s s1 )( s s2 ) ( s sm )
25/61
Classification of Poles
The poles can be classified as either real, imaginary, or complex.
x
jy
x+jy
An imaginary or complex pole is always accompanied by its complex

conjugate, i.e., jy is accompanied (-jy) and (x+jy) is with (x-jy).
The poles can also be classified according to their order, which is the
number of times a roots is repeated in the denominator polynomial
().
The first-order (or simple-order) root is which the root appears only
once. Higher-order roots are referred to as multiple-order roots.
The roots of second-order equations may be either real or complex. For
third- and higher-degree equations, numerical methods must often be
used.

Inverse Laplace Transform Step 1

For the purpose of inverse transformation, poles will be classified in 4
categories
1. First-order real poles
2. First-order complex poles
3. Multiple-order real poles
4. Multiple-order complex poles
(purely imaginary poles will be considered as a special case of complex poles with zero real part)

numerator, but the quadratic term requires a constant plus a term
proportional to s.
Various procedures exist for determining the constants, but the results can
always be checked by combining back over a common denominator of

General Forms for Solutions (I)

Natural and Forced Responses
Let y (t ) represent some arbitrary general circuit response (either a voltage
or current). When the circuit is excited by one or more sources, a general
response y (t ) may be represented by the sum of two responses as follows:
y (t ) = y n (t ) + y f (t )
Natural response
Forced response
Natural Response
The form of the natural response is determined by the circuit parameter,
i.e., if the circuit has a time constant of 2 seconds, corresponding to an
exponential e t 2 , such a term will appear in the response when the circuit
is excited by any type of source.
Force Response
The form of the forced response is determined by the excitation source(s),
i.e., if a circuit is excited by a sinusoid having a frequency of 5 kHz, the
general response will always contain a sinusoid with a frequency of 5 kHz.
48/61
General Forms for Solutions (II)

Transient and Steady-state Responses
y ( t ) = y t (t ) + y ss (t )
Transient response
Steady-state response
Frequently, transient response and natural response are considered to be

equivalent, and steady-state response and forced response are considered
to be equivalent. The terms transient and steady-state relate to the
common case where the natural response is transient in nature and
eventually vanishes, whereas the forced response continuous as a steadystate condition indefinitely.
Example:
v s (t ) = 10 sin1000t
i (t ) = 2e t 3e 2t + 4 sin (1000t + 30 )
it ( t ) = i n ( t ) = 2e t 3e 2t
i ss (t ) = i f (t ) = 4 sin (1000t + 30 )

49/61
First-Order Circuits
First-order Circuit with Arbitrary Input
For first-order circuits, the natural response y n (t ) will always be an exponential
term of the form:
y n (t ) = Ke t = Ke t
K is a constant
is the time constant
= 1 is the damping factor
Since the exponential term approaches zero as time increases, it is proper to

designate the natural response as a transient response whenever the forced
response continuous indefinitely.

Second-Order Circuits
Second-order circuits are of special interest because they are capable
of displaying, on a simple scales, the types of responses that appear
in circuits of arbitrary order. In fact, second-order circuits and systems
occur frequently in practical applications, so their behavior is subject
of considerable interest.

Overdamped Case (Series RLC)

In the overdamped case, the two poles are real and different. Assume
that the poles are s1 = 1 and s2 = 2 , the forms for I(s) and VC(s)
can be expressed as
I (s ) =
VC ( s ) =
Vi
L
( s + 1 )( s + 2 )

LC
s ( s + 1 )( s + 2 )
The inverse transforms are of the forms

i (t ) = A0e 1t A0e 2t
vC (t ) = Vi + A1e 1t + A2e 2t
The natural response consists of two exponential

terms, each having a different damping factor or
time constant. The forced response for the current
is zero and for the capacitor voltage is the
constant final voltage across the capacitor.
55/61
Critically Damped Case (Series RLC)

In the critically damped case, the two poles are real and equal.
Assume that the poles are s1 = s2 = , the forms for I(s) and VC(s)
can be expressed as

C0 = Vi L
The most significant aspect of the natural
response function for the critically damped case is
the te t form. Although the t factor increases
with increasing t, the te t decreases at a faster
rate, so the product eventually approaches zero.
