The functions f and g have Laplace transforms f and g, and satisfy f(t)=0=g(t) for t<0. The convolution h of f and g is defined by
h(u)=∫0uf(u−v)g(v)dv
and has Laplace transform h. Prove (the convolution theorem) that h(p)=f(p)g(p).
Given that ∫0t(t−s)−1/2s−1/2ds=π(t>0), deduce the Laplace transform of the function f(t), where
f(t)={t−1/2,t>00,t⩽0
