Derivative of Laplace Transform

Theorem

Let $f: \R \to \R$ or $\R \to \C$ be a continuous function, differentiable on any closed interval $\closedint 0 a$.

Let $\laptrans f = F$ denote the Laplace transform of $f$.


Then, everywhere that $\dfrac \d {\d s} \laptrans f$ exists:

$\dfrac \d {\d s} \laptrans {\map f t} = -\laptrans {t \, \map f t}$
