Dear reader,
how can it happen that Mathematica throws out -i for the Laplace
transform of one,
LaplaceTransform[1, t, I] = -i?
After all the Laplace transformation (with s = I) is defined as
Integrate[Exp[-I t], {t, 0, Infinity}]
and should be undefined. Am I wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks for an answer!
Wieland
