Theorem 12.23 (Heaviside Expansion Theorem).  Let [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_220.gif] and [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_221.gif] be polynomials of degree m and n, respectively, where [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_222.gif]. If [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_223.gif] has n distinct simple zeros at the points  [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_224.gif],  then  [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_225.gif]  is the Laplace transform of the function  [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_226.gif]  given by

(12.44)        [Graphics:Images/LaplaceInverseMod_gr_227.gif].  

Proof.
