Laplace Transform of Second Derivative

Theorem

Let $f: \R \to \R$ or $\R \to \C$ be a continuous function on any interval of the form $0 \le t \le a$.

Let $f$ be twice differentiable.

Let $f'$ be continuous and $f' '$ piecewise continuous with one-sided limits on said intervals.

Let $f$ and $f'$ be of exponential order.

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


Then $\laptrans {f' '}$ exists for $\map \Re s > a$, and:

$\laptrans {\map {f' '} t} = s^2 \laptrans {\map f t} - s \, \map f 0 - \map {f'} 0$


Proof


This article, or a section of it, needs explaining.
In particular: Why does $\laptrans {f' '}$ exist? It needs to be proven
You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it.
