The Laplace transform is wherever it converges. For sufficiently large , suitable exponential bounds justify integration by parts and differentiation under the integral sign, giving
For a nonnegative integer and real , substitute in the gamma integral. The result extends holomorphically to , giving
This also follows recursively from the second identity, starting with .
Put , and . For a solution with finite initial values and the required transform bounds, the transformed equation is
The initial-value terms cancel, leaving . On the real interval , a nonzero solution satisfies
Integration gives . Inverting term by term yields
Taking gives a nonzero solution, verified by direct substitution. It is , and the rational transform agrees with the general Laplace transform of a Laguerre polynomial. No claim about solutions with singular initial behavior is needed to produce this regular solution.
