If $\mathbb{T}$ is a time scale, $s \in \mathbb{T}$, and $f$ is rd-continuous, then we define the Laplace transform of $f$ about $s$ by the formula $$\mathscr{L}_{\mathbb{T}}\{f\}(z;s) = \displaystyle\int_s^{\infty} f(t) e_{\ominus z}(\sigma(t),s) \Delta t,$$ for all $z$ for which the integral converges.

Properties of Laplace Transforms

Unilateral Laplace transform is a linear operator


Proposition: The Laplace transform of a delta derivative: $$\mathscr{L}\{f^{\Delta}\}(z;s) = -f(s) + z\mathscr{L}\{f\}(z).$$

Proof: Compute using integration by parts, $$\begin{array}{ll} \mathscr{L}\{f^{\Delta}\}(z) &= \displaystyle\int_0^{\infty} f^{\Delta}(\tau) e_{\ominus z}(\sigma(\tau),s) \Delta \tau \\ &= \end{array}$$ proving the claim. █

Assume there exist $M,\alpha > 0$ with $$|a_k| \leq M \alpha_k$$ for all $k=0,1,2,\ldots$. Then for all $z$ where it exists, [pp.796] $$\mathscr{L}\left\{ \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} a_k h_k(\cdot,s) \right\}(z;s) = \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} a_k \mathscr{L}\{h_k(\cdot,s)\}(z;s) = \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{a_k}{z^{k+1}},$$ where $h_k$ denotes the standard time scale polynomial.

Proposition: Let $m_z(t,s):=\displaystyle\int_s^t \dfrac{\Delta \tau}{1+\mu(\tau)z}$. Then [pp.797] $$\dfrac{d}{dz} \mathscr{L}\{f\}(z;s) = -\mathscr{L}\{m_z(\sigma(\cdot),s)f\}(z;s).$$

Proof:

It is known that $\dfrac{d}{dz} e_z(t,t_0) = m_z(t,t_0)e_z(t,t_0)$ and $\dfrac{d}{dz} e_{\ominus z}(t,t_0)=-m_z(t,t_0)e_{\ominus z}(t,t_0)$. These formulas are analogues of the formulas $\dfrac{d}{dz} e^{z(t-t_0)}=(t-t_0)e^{z(t-t_0)}$ and $\dfrac{d}{dz} e^{-z(t-t_0)}=-(t-t_0)e^{-z(t-t_0)}$ which occur in the case $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$. An important difference from the classical case is that $t-t_0$ has no dependence on the variable $z$, while $m_z(t,t_0)$ does.

Convergence

We define the minimal graininess function $$\mu_*(s)=\inf_{\tau \in [s,\infty) \cap \mathbb{T}} \mu(\tau).$$ Let $h\geq 0$. We also define the Hilger real part of $z \in \mathbb{C}$ by $$\mathrm{Re}_h(z)=\dfrac{1}{h}(|1+hz|-1)$$ and the Hilger imaginary part of $z \in \mathbb{C}$ by $$\mathrm{Re}_h(z)=\mathrm{Arg}(1+hz),$$ where $\mathrm{Arg}$ denotes the principal argument of $1+hz$. We let $$\mathbb{C}_h = \left\{ z \in \mathbb{C} \colon z \neq -\dfrac{1}{h} \right\}.$$ Finally given some $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ we define $$\mathbb{C}_h(\lambda) = \left\{ z \in \mathbb{C}_h \colon \mathrm{Re}_h(z) > \lambda \right\}.$$

Theorem (Absolute convergence): Let $f \in C_{\mathrm{rd}}([s,\infty) \cap \mathbb{T},\mathbb{C})$ be of exponential order $\alpha$. Then $\mathscr{L}\{f\}(\cdot;s)$ exists on $\mathbb{C}_{\mu_*(s)}(\alpha)$ and converges absolutely.

Proof:

Theorem (Uniform convergence): Let $f \in C_{\mathrm{rd}}([s,\infty)\cap\mathbb{T},\mathbb{C})$ be of exponential order $\alpha$. Then the Laplace transform $\mathscr{L}\{f\}$ converges uniformly in the half-plane $C_{\mu_*(s)}(\beta)$ for any $\beta > \alpha$.

Proof:
