Talk:Laplace transform

message: Can someone explain what it means for a complex number to go to infinity? I could understand |s| -> inf or Re(s) -> but just s? 138.232.68.221 (talk) 08:53, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Initial/final value theorems 

message: Essentially expanding the Laplace transform into real and imaginary exponent parts. The real bit is just e^{-\sigma t}, imaginary e^{-j\omega t}. FT of f(t)e^{-\sigma t} is  \int_0^{\infty} f(t)e^{-\sigma t} e^{-j\omega t} dt when f(t) =0, t < 0. XabqEfdg (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The term "transform" is a bit ambiguous. It can either refer to the operation of transforming a function, or to the result of this operation on a particular function. Using the second meaning, the claim would be false. The term "function" has the same ambiguity, when we say "x is a function of y." It would be more verbose, but maybe "the Laplace transform operator can be defined in terms of the Fourier transform operator" would be clearer? Albie's relation of misfortune (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that, as put, this should go in the lead. Per MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarize the content in the article. There is a section on the Laplace transform's relationship to the FT, but it does not talk about real arguments. Before putting the interpretation of the Laplace transform in the lead, it should first go in the Fourier transform section. Its placement in the lead may be undue because the Fourier transform relationship is not very important in the rest of the article. I get that there may be some pedagogical value, but see WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. People can also simply scroll down to the Fourier transform section as well. I do think that the Fourier transform section should include a bit about equivalence to the bilateral Laplace transform (which is the context that Signals and Systems and Bracewell put it in), but not the unilateral one which is, after all, just a special case. XabqEfdg (talk) 04:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not too worried about where this equation ends up, but there is a reason that the Laplace transform always comes along with the other elements of Fourier analysis, and that needs to be mentioned somewhere in the lead. Albie's relation of misfortune (talk) 04:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Also note that this relationship can be used to explain the region of convergence. I might work it into this article's section on that if I find the time. Albie's relation of misfortune (talk) 13:51, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Since it is in Signals and Systems, it can go in the body of the article, but it needs to be in the same form that it appears in the reference.  "Suitable functions" and any other conditions needs to be clarified. Constant314 (talk) 13:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Cortina and size

message: I'm troubled by the following text on the 1962 - 66 Ford Taunus 12M: "...Same size, but a completely new car. New body, new V4 engine, front wheel drive...".   Effectively the same assertion turns up, as far as I can make out, in German wiki.
I had thought (from frazzled memory) that Ford in Europe only discovered front wheel drive with the launch of the 1966 - 1970 Taunus 12M P6 1966 - 1970 (and of course after that they changed their minds till the Fiesta turned up: the post 1970 semi-joint Taunus/Cortina and Sierras would remain resolutely rwd till the end).   I guess I could look it up.   I found already a French language site    http://www.ford-taunus.fr/   which appears to confirm my memory, but (1) I have no idea how authoritative it is and (2) it would be nice to find something on this in English: however I guess there isn't much interest in the Taunus in English speaking countries.   
Does anyone with an old service manual or something equivalent know more already?
Charles01 (talk) 18:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Charles, I don´t have an English source, but the P4 most definitely was the first front-driver of Ford Deutschland (Oswald, Deutsche Autos 1945-1990, p. 374). The project originated in Detroit (code name Cardinal) and was later handed over to Ford Köln. The P6 was a thoroughly redone P4 (Oswald: "The P6 series, introduced in September 1966, showed that Ford Köln was struggling to develop an acceptable automobile out of the original, rather botched US concept.").

thread_title: Part

message: I suggested merging executive system and executive functions
because they seem like duplicates, or are at least significantly overlapping,
and treat the same subject.  I think "executive system" is the slightly better title,
and executive function and executive functioning both redirect to it rather than to executive functions.

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: By introspection it seems to me that there might be a relationship between executive function and instinctive goal-oriented behaviors - the desire to rear children, and as a surrogate, the interest in maintaining pet animals.  I'd expect those with weak executive function to have much less interest in keeping a pet.  In a very quick search I found plenty of light and fluffy articles recommending that declining seniors rejuvenate executive function through interaction with pets, but not with any suggestion of a fundamental neurological relationship.

message: It is not made clear in this article who was in charge of the city of St Albans during the civil war period (there is no mention of the Civil War in the article on St Albans itself), so the reader cannot be sure if the cathedral found itself in a Parliamentary or a Royalist stronghold.

Talk:Atari 2600

message: Dear Wikipedia community,
I recently made edits to the Atari 2600 page to reflect the continuation of the Atari 2600 series with the introduction of the 2600+ model in 2023. These edits were based on official sources, specifically from the Atari company itself and the developer's statements.
The primary basis for this edit is the official announcement by Atari: "The legendary console that started it all - the grandfather of living room arcade gaming - is back and better than ever! With over 40 million units sold globally" This statement from Atari clearly indicates that the 2600+ is a continuation of the original Atari 2600 series.
I understand the importance of maintaining the accuracy and integrity of Wikipedia. Therefore, I want to open this discussion to ensure that all perspectives are considered. The intention is not to mislead or provide false information but to accurately represent the evolution and continuation of the Atari 2600 series. Given that the 2600+ is described as an "updated version of the iconic Atari 2600," it seems fitting to consider it within the same lineage, much like how updated or "slim" variants of other consoles are still considered part of their respective series.
I welcome feedback and insights from the community. If there are additional sources or perspectives that should be considered, please share them. Together, let's ensure that the Atari 2600 page accurately reflects the rich history and ongoing legacy of this iconic gaming console.
