Abstract
The aim of this article is to introduce a new form for the Laplace transform. This new definition will be considered as
one of the generalizations of the usual (classical) Laplace transform. We employ the new ”Katugampola derivative”, which
obeys classical properties and define Katugampola Laplace transform. We obtain some properties of this transform and find the
relation between the Katugampola Laplace transform and the usual Laplace one.
Keywords: Katugampola derivative; Katugampola Laplace transform.

1. Introduction
The derivative of non-integral order ”Fractional derivative” is an interesting research topic since it is a
generalization of the classical integer calculus. Several types of fractional derivatives were introduced and
studied by Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Hadamard, Weyl, and Grünwald-Letnikov; for more details one
can see [4, 6, 7, 8]. Unfortunately all these fractional derivatives fail to satisfy some basic properties of the
classical integer calculus like product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, Roll’s theorem, mean-value theorem
and composition of two functions. Also, those fractional derivatives inherit non-locality and most of them
propose that the derivative of a constant is not zero. Those inconsistencies lead to some difficulties in the
applications of fractional derivatives in physics, engineering and real world problems.
To overcome all the difficulties raised, Khalil et al. [5] introduced and investigated the so called
conformable fractional derivative and also, Katugampola [3] introduced and studied a similar type of
derivative, later called Katugampola derivative and is defined as follows
Definition 1.1 [3] Let f : [0, ∞) → R and t>0 . Then, the Katugampola derivative of f of order α is defined
by

Note that Katugampola derivative satisfies product rule, quotient rule, chain rule,. . . etc. and it is consistent in its properties with the classical calculus of integer order. In addition, we have the following
theorem.

Proof.

2. Katugampola Laplace Transform
Salim, T.O., et al [9] have introduced a new definition of Katugampola Fourier transform which finds very
interesting reputation between mathematicians. Following the same procedure, they continue their work
and define a new Laplace transform called Katugampola Laplace transform. Some basic properties of this
transform are given here. Abdeljawad [1] gave the definition of conformable Laplace transform.
In this section, we introduce and study the relation between Katugampola Laplace transform and the
usual Laplace transform. The Katugampola Laplace transform of some functions are established and then
we obtain a convolution formula for this transform. Remember here the usual Laplace transform to the
function f ,

Definition 2.1 Let α ∈ (n, n + 1] for some n ∈ N and f (t) be a real valued function on [0, ∞) . The
Katugampola Laplace transform of f(t) of order α is defined as

Theorem 2.2 Let α ∈ (n, n + 1], for some n ∈ N and f (x) be a real valued function on [0, ∞) . Then,
Lα {Dα f(t)}(p) = p Lα f(n) (t) (p) − f(n) (0).
(2.2)
Proof. By using Definition 2.1 and Theorem 1.3, we have
Lα {Dα f(t)}(p) = Lα tn−α+1 f(n+1) (t) (p)
,

Corollary 2.3 Let α ∈ (0, 1] , and f : [0, ∞] → R be α−differentiable real valued function. Then
Lα {Dα (f)(t)}(p) = p Lα {f(t)} (p) − f(0).
(2.3)
Proof. The proof is directly obtained by letting n = 0 in Theorem 2.2.

Now, assume that the theorem is true for a particular value of k, say r. Then, we have

Therefore the theorem is true for every positive integral value of k.
In the following Lemma, we present the relation between the Katugampola Laplace transform and usual
Laplace transform.
