Inverse Laplace transform of rational function












0












$begingroup$


Is it true that the inverse Laplace transform of a proper rational function (where all the coefficients are real and positive),
begin{equation}
s mapsto frac{a_1 , s^{m-1} + a_2 , s^{m-2} + dotsb + a_{m}}{s^m + b_1 s^{m-1} + dotsb + b_{m}},
end{equation}

can be expressed as $langle b, e^{A t} b rangle$, for a matrix $A in mathbb R^{n times n}$ and a vector $b in mathbb R^n$ and $n geq m$?



I would say that it is, by partial fraction decomposition, inverse Laplace transform of the partial fractions, and using an ansatz of $A$ in normal Jordan form, but would like confirmation or a reference.

    We can always fill up $A$ and $b$ with as many zeros as we wish.

    Yes, but I don't see your point?

    We can make $n$ as large as we want. Isn't it the question?

    The question is: Are there $A, b, n$ (with $n$ possibly larger than $m$), such that the Laplace transform of $<b, e^{-At} b>$ is the rational function given?

    How do you think to write say $e^{-t}-e^{-2t}$ as $langle b,e^{At}brangle$? At $t=0$ it gives $|b|=0$. Do I miss something here?
