# (Heaviside) Unit step function
We got a joke! Heaviside (British electrician) was told during a restaurant that mathematicians are finally using his formula, he replied: I don't need the chef to tell me the food was good. (a lil bit cynical!) We got a joke!

Anyways, the Heaviside step function is defined as: # (Heaviside) Unit step function
#heaviside
The Heaviside step function is defined as:
$u(t-a)=\begin{cases}0,\quad t<a \\1,\quad a\leq t\end{cases}$ $u(t-a)=\begin{cases}0,\quad t<a \\1,\quad a\leq t\end{cases}$
graph it, it just "switches on" when $t=a$ graph it, it just "switches on" when $t=a$
if we use laplace transforms we will see that solving equations with this Heaviside function is very natural. Using #mouc wont work, #voparam might work but it's messy.

Let's derive some fundamental LT properties involving the unit step function:
#ex $$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}$$
compute:
$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}$
$\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-st}u(t-a)f(t-a)\, dt$ $\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-st}u(t-a)f(t-a)\, dt$
$=\int _{a}^\infty e^{-st}\cdot 1f(t-a)\, dt$ $=\int _{0}^a 0 \, dt+\int _{a}^\infty e^{-st}\cdot 1f(t-a)\, dt$
let $x=t-a$ let $x=t-a$
$=\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-s(x+a)}f(x)\, dx$ $=\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-s(x+a)}f(x)\, dx$
$=e^{-as}\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-sx}f(x)\, dx$ $=e^{-as}\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-sx}f(x)\, dx$
the right side is nothing but the LT of f. How nice! the right side is nothing but the LT of f. How nice!
$$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}=e^{-as}F(s)$$ $$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}=e^{-as}F(s)\quad\leftarrow\text{Very useful formula!}$$
Very useful formula! ^ Same process can be done to show the following:
$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t)\}=\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t+a-a)\}=e^{-as}\mathcal{L}\{f(t+a)\}$ $$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t)\}=e^{-as}\mathcal{L}\{f(t+a)\} \leftarrow\text{Also useful}$$
$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-as}F(s)\}=u(t-a)f(t-a)$ We can express a case-function in terms of unit step functions.
#ex Consider this function where multiple functions are being switched:
multiple functions being switched:
$f(t)=\begin{cases} 1, \quad t<1 \\ t, \quad 1\leq t\leq \pi \\ \sin(t), \quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$ $f(t)=\begin{cases} 1, \quad t<1 \\ t, \quad 1\leq t\leq \pi \\ \sin(t), \quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$
then we express it using heaviside functions: We express it using heaviside functions:
$f(t)=1-u(t-1)+tu(t-1)-tu(t-\pi)+\sin(t)u(t-\pi)$ $f(t)=1-u(t-1)+tu(t-1)-tu(t-\pi)+\sin(t)u(t-\pi)$
think it about switching on certain parts of the equation at certain times t. think about it switching on and off certain parts of the equation at certain times t.

current in electric circuit I(t) is defined by: current in electric circuit $I(t)$ is defined by:
$I''+I=g(t),\quad I(0)=I'(0)=0$ $$I''+I=g(t),\quad I(0)=I'(0)=0$$
$g(t)=\begin{cases}1,\quad 0\leq t<\pi \\ -1,\quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$ where:
$$g(t)=\begin{cases}1,\quad 0\leq t<\pi \\ -1,\quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$$
find $I(t)$ find $I(t)$
the capacitance here is huge, 1F! (I believe it comes from the coefficient of $y$ term) The capacitance here is huge, 1F! (I believe it comes from the coefficient of $y$ term)
and we are switching it instantaneously, lets imagine we don't blow anything up. and we are switching it instantaneously, lets imagine we don't blow anything up.
We can express $g$ using just one heaviside unit step function:
$I''+I=1-2u(t-\pi)$ $I''+I=1-2u(t-\pi)$
$\mathcal{L}\{I(t)\}=J(s)$ $\mathcal{L}\{I(t)\}=J(s)$
$s\cdot I(0)=s\cdot I'(0)=0$ $s\cdot I(0)=0 \qquad I'(0)=0$
using formula we derived in earlier ex: Hit it with the LT!
$s^2J(s)+J=\frac{1}{s}-\frac{2e^{-\pi s}}{s}$ $s^2J(s)+J=\frac{1}{s}-\mathcal{L}\{2u(t-\pi)\}$
$J=\underbrace{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} }_{ =F(s) }-2 \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)}e^{-\pi s}$ using formula we derived earlier, ie: $\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}=e^{-as}F(s)$
$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} \right\}=\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{\frac{1}{s}-\frac{s}{s^2+1}\}=1-\cos t$ $s^2J(s)+J=\frac{1}{s}-e^{-\pi s}\frac{2}{s}$
$=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1-\cos(t+\pi))$ $J=\underbrace{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} }_{ =F(s) }- \frac{2}{s(s^2+1)}e^{-\pi s}$
$$=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1+\cos(t))$$ $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} \right\}=\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{\frac{1}{s}-\frac{s}{s^2+1}\}$ <- using partial fractions
$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} \right\}=1-\cos t$
$J(s)=F(s)-2e^{-\pi s}F(s)$
Take the inverse LT of both sides:
$I(s)=1-\cos t-2\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-\pi s}F(s)\}$
How do we take the inverse of $e^{-\pi s}F(s)$?
Recall that we derived: $\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}=e^{-as}F(s)$
So: $u(t-a)f(t-a)=\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-as}F(s)\}$
Applying this formula gives:
$I(t)=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1-\cos(t-\pi))$
$$I(t)=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1+\cos(t))$$
