14. Initial Value Theorem

The Initial Value Theorem (IVT) is an essential concept in Laplace transforms, providing a method to evaluate the behavior of functions at the onset of a process without needing inverse transforms. The theorem applies under specific conditions and is instrumental in various fields such as electrical engineering and control systems. The chapter discusses the conditions for its validity, proofs, examples, and failure cases, highlighting its practical applications in analyzing system behaviors.
