Abstract

The Kyungu Formula is applied here to evaluate the inverse Laplace transform of the function:

\[ F(p) = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{p^2}\right) \]

The method leads to both a series representation and a closed-form expression involving hyperbolic and trigonometric functions.

Kyungu Formula

The formula expresses the inverse Laplace transform of a function \( F(p) \) as follows:

\[ \mathcal{L}^{-1}[F](t) = \varphi(0) \cdot \delta(t) + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\varphi^{(n)}(0)}{(n!)^2} \cdot n \cdot t^{n-1} \]

with the auxiliary function:

\[ \varphi(p) = F\left(\frac{1}{p}\right) \]

Application to \( F(p) = \arctan\left( \frac{1}{p^2} \right) \)

Auxiliary Function

Starting from:

\[ F(p) = \arctan\left( \frac{1}{p^2} \right) \]

we get:

\[ \varphi(p) = \arctan(p^2) \]

Series Expansion

The series expansion of \(\arctan(x)\) is:

\[ \arctan(x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k \cdot \frac{x^{2k+1}}{2k+1} \]

Therefore:

\[ \varphi(p) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k \cdot \frac{p^{4k+2}}{2k+1} \]

Derivatives

The derivatives at zero are given by:

\[ \varphi^{(4k+2)}(0) = (-1)^k \cdot \frac{(4k+2)!}{2k+1} \]

Inverse Laplace Transform

Thus, the series expression becomes:

\[ \mathcal{L}^{-1}[F](t) = 2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k \cdot \frac{t^{4k+1}}{(4k+2)!} \]

Closed-form Expression

This infinite sum simplifies into the following exact closed-form expression:

\[ \frac{2}{t} \cdot \sinh\left( \frac{t\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \cdot \sin\left( \frac{t\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \]

Final Result

Therefore:

\[ \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[ \arctan\left( \frac{1}{p^2} \right) \right](t) = \frac{2}{t} \cdot \sinh\left( \frac{t\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \cdot \sin\left( \frac{t\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \]

This result does not appear in classical Laplace transform tables. It demonstrates the analytical power of the Kyungu Formula.
