Integral transform page 93
The LT of $δ(x−a)$ is $e^{−pa}$. By inversion formula
$\delta(x-\mathrm{a})=\frac{1}{2 \pi \mathrm{i}} \int_{\sigma-\mathrm{i} \infty}^{\sigma+\mathrm{i} \infty} \mathrm{e}^{-p a} \mathrm{e}^{p x} \mathrm{~d} p=\frac{1}{2 \pi \mathrm{i}} \int_{\sigma-\mathrm{i} \infty}^{\sigma+\mathrm{i} \infty} \mathrm{e}^{p(x-\mathrm{a})} \mathrm{d} p$
Now in this contour integral (in the $p$-plane),
If $x<a$, you can close the contour with a semicircle on the right, as $x-a<0$ gives exponential decay.12 By Cauchy's theorem, the integral is zero.
12 NB you can't use Jordan directly to show decay of the arc-integral because the maximum on the arc of $\left|\mathrm{e}^{p(x-a)}\right|$ does not tend to zero. You have to use the rapid oscillation property as well, as in the R-L Lemma. (You might like to try this, by splitting the range of integration as we did when we showed that a LT vanishes at $+\infty$.) But the result is true. |
