DefinitionThe Lanczos-Pade method works in the Laplace space, which is a kind of integral transform that maps a time-domain function to a complex frequency-domain representation. It is used extensively to solve ordinary differential equations, that is, for the analysis of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems as well as various kinds of control system designs, etc. The Laplace transform of a function f(t) which is denoted L{f(t)} and is given as L{f(t)}=∫0∞f(t)e−stdt, where s is a complex variable. For example, L[eat]=s−a1 from the theorem above
