Sumudu transform: A new integral transform to solve differential equations and control engineering problems. (English) Zbl 0768.44003
The author modifies the Laplace transform in the following form $$F(u) = (1/u)\int^ \infty_ 0 e^{-t/u}f(t)dt$$, so that $$u$$ and $$F(u)$$ are no longer dummies but can be treated as replicas of $$t$$ and $$f(t)$$. It is even possible to express them in the same units as $$t$$ and $$f(t)$$ so that the consistency of units in a differential equation describing a physical process can be maintained even after transformation. A few properties of the modified transform are given and two applications are included as examples.
