Laplace transform of integral

Find the Laplace Transform of:



$int_{0}^{t} frac{Y(u)}{sqrt{t-u}}du$




I understand that $mathcal{L}{int_{0}^{t} Y(u) du} = frac{y(s)}{s}$, but I don't understand how this works when other variables are involved (in this case how do we handle the $frac{1}{sqrt{t-u}}$ term?

          You are working with semi-primitives, nice! Well, the integral
          $$ int_{0}^{t}frac{Y(u)}{sqrt{t-u}},du $$
          is the convolution between $Y(u)$ and $frac{1}{sqrt{u}}$, so its Laplace transform is simply the product between $(mathcal{L}Y)(s)$ and
          $$ mathcal{L}left(frac{1}{sqrt{u}}right)(s)=frac{sqrt{pi}}{sqrt{s}}. $$
          This is related to fractional calculus since a possible (but not very common) definition of a semi-primitive is
          $$ (D^{-1/2} f)(x) = mathcal{L}^{-1}left[frac{1}{sqrt{s}}cdot(mathcal{L} f)(s)right](x).$$
          In these terms
          $$ int_{0}^{t}frac{Y(u)}{sqrt{t-u}},du = sqrt{pi},(D^{-1/2} Y)(t).$$
          It is interesting to check what happens by taking $Y$ as a Legendre or Chebyshev polynomial/function, but I do not want to spoil too much of my future work.
