The answer, of course, is
L 1 ( 1 s s + a ) = 1 i 2 π c i c + i d s e s t s s + a = erf a t a
Convolution
Note that
L ( t 1 / 2 ) = π s 1 / 2 L ( t 1 / 2 e a t ) = π ( s + a ) 1 / 2
or, written another way
L 1 ( 1 s + a ) = ( π t ) 1 / 2 e a t
Thus, by the convolution theorem,
L 1 ( 1 s s + a ) = π 1 / 2 0 t d t t 1 / 2 e a t = 1 a 2 π 0 a t d u e u 2
The result follows.
