Put , initially for real . Besides the Laplace transform of a derivative, use multiplication by the original variable in the formTransforming the Bessel differential equation, with its given initial conditions, yieldsThe constant terms cancel, leaving . This first-order ordinary differential equation integrates toThe initial value theorem for Laplace transforms gives , so . Thus the Laplace transform of the Bessel function J0 isFor complex with , choose the analytic square-root branch agreeing with the positive square root on the positive real axis.
For the forcing , part (b) now gives . On the other hand, the same multiplication rule givesTaking an integral from zero divides the Laplace transform by . By uniqueness of the Laplace transform,A direct check also explains the cancellation. This expression has and . The Bessel differential equation says , so integration from zero gives . Hence , and both initial conditions hold.
