Taking Inverse Laplace Transform on both sides, we get

i. e., L1 [ F (a s) ] = f

Similarly, we can prove that
L1 [ F ( s / a ) ] = a f (t a)
Examples:

If C1 and C2 are any constants, while F1 (s) and F2 ( s) are Laplace Transforms of f1 (t ) and
f 2 (t ) respectively, then
L 1 {C1 F1 (s) + C2 F2 (s) } = C1 L 1 { F1 (s) } + C2 L 1 { F2 (s) } = C1 f1 (t ) + C2 f 2 (t )
f (t ) e L1 { F (s ) } = f (t )

Proof: By definition, we have L{ f (t ) } = dt = F (s )

Now, L{C1 f1 (t ) + C2 f 2 (t ) } = C

= C1 f1 (t ) e st dt + C2 f 2 (t ) e st dt
0 0
= C1 L{ f1 (t ) } + C2 L{ f 2 (t ) }
= C1 F1 (s) + C2 F2 ( s)
Taking Inverse Laplace Transform on both sides, we get
L 1 {C1 F1 (s) + C2 F2 (s) } = C1 f1 (t ) + C2 f 2 (t )
L 1 {C1 F1 (s) + C2 F2 (s) } = C1 L 1 { F1 (s) } + C2 L 1 { F2 (s) }

Properties of Convolution:
1. Commutativity f * g = g * f
t
Proof: LHS = f (t ) g (t ) = f (u) g (t u) du
0
0
= f (t y) g ( y) ( dy)
t
[Putting t u = y du = ‒ dy ]
t
= f (t y) g ( y) dy
0
t
= f (t u) g (u) du
0
t
= g (u)
0
f (t u) du = g (t ) f (t ) = RHS
2. Associativity f (t ) [ g (t ) h (t ) ] = [ f (t ) g (t ) ] h (t )
Proof: Let f (t ) [ g (t ) h (t ) ] = f (t ) m (t ) , where m (t ) = g (t ) h (t )
t t
By Definition, m (t ) = g (t ) h (t ) = g (u) h (t u) du = h (u) g (t u) du
0 0
t
f (t ) m (t ) = f ( y) m (t y) dy

f (t ) [ g (t ) h (t ) ] =

f ( y ) dy h (u ) g (t y u ) du

= h (u ) du f ( y) g (t y u ) dy
0 0
[changing the order of integration]
= h (t ) [ f (t ) g (t ) ]
= [ f (t ) g (t ) ] h (t ) [using commutativity property]
= f *g f *h
