Solve

\begin{align*} t y^{\prime }+y&=0 \end{align*}

Since no initial condition is explicitly given, then let

\begin{align*} y \left (0\right ) = c_1 \end{align*}

We will now apply Laplace transform to each term in the ode. Since this is time varying, the following Laplace transform property will be used

\begin{align*} t^{n} f \left (t \right ) &\xrightarrow {\mathscr {L}} (-1)^n \frac {d^n}{ds^n} F(s) \end{align*}

Where in the above \(F(s)\) is the laplace transform of \(f \left (t \right )\). Applying the above property to each term of the ode gives

\begin{align*} y &\xrightarrow {\mathscr {L}} Y \left (s \right )\\ t y^{\prime } &\xrightarrow {\mathscr {L}} -Y \left (s \right )-s \left (\frac {d}{d s}Y \left (s \right )\right ) \end{align*}

Collecting all the terms above, the ode in Laplace domain becomes

\[ -s Y^{\prime } = 0 \]

The above ode in Y(s) is now solved.

Since the ode has the form \(Y^{\prime }=f(s)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(s)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dY} &= \int {0\, ds} + c_2 \\ Y &= c_2 \end{align*}

Applying inverse Laplace transform on the above gives.

\begin{align*} y = c_2 \delta \left (t \right )\tag {1} \end{align*}

Substituting initial conditions \(y \left (0\right ) = c_1\) and \(y^{\prime }\left (0\right ) = c_1\) into the above solution Gives

\[ c_1 = c_2 \delta \left (0\right ) \]

Solving for the constant \(c_2\) from the above equation gives

\begin{align*} c_2 = \frac {c_1}{\delta \left (0\right )} \end{align*}

Substituting the above back into the solution (1) gives

\[ y = \frac {c_1 \delta \left (t \right )}{\delta \left (0\right )} \]
