Laplace Transform of Complementary Error Function












0












$begingroup$


I need to apply one Laplace transform formula while I have no idea how to prove it:
$$int_0^infty e^{-st} e^{a k} e^{a^2 t}
operatorname{erfc} left( a sqrt{t} + frac{k}{2 sqrt{t}} right) dt =
frac{e^{-k sqrt{s}}}{sqrt{s} (sqrt{s}+a)},
quad k>0 land a in mathbb{C}, $$

where $operatorname{erfc}(t) = frac{2}{sqrt{pi}} int_t^infty e^{-x^2} dx$.



Could anyone help me with it? Thanks in advance.

    After dropping the constant factor $e^{a k}$ and differentiating wrt $k$, we need to show that $$int mathcal L_{t to s} {left[ -frac {e^{-a k - k^2/(4 t)}} {sqrt{pi t}} right]} dk = int -frac {e^{-a k - k sqrt s}} {sqrt s} dk = frac {e^{-a k - k sqrt s}} {sqrt s (sqrt s + a)}.$$

    Thanks for that. I like your method. My way is simply doing this integral step by step. However, an initial condition is required in your way. I take $k=0$, in that case, we need a>0 for the Laplace transform of $e^{a^2 t}erfc(asqrt{t})$. I am wondering how to extend "a" to the whole complex plane.

    You can extend your formula to $k geq 0 land a in mathbb C$. $int_0^infty e^{a^2 t} operatorname{erfc}(a sqrt t) e^{-s t} dt$ converges for $$(operatorname{Re} a geq 0 land operatorname{Re} s > 0) lor (operatorname{Re} a < 0 land operatorname{Re} s > max(operatorname{Re}a^2, 0)),$$ in agreement with the location of the zeroes of $sqrt s (sqrt s + a)$. Another way is to multiply back by $e^{a k}$ and take $k = infty$ to show that the integration constant is zero.
