Maple is returning a limit in my answer and will not apply the limit. I am specifically trying to evaluate the Laplace Integral of the function f(t) = cos(omega*t)^2
I use the laplace() command to confirm my answer. If Maple would apply the limit, then I would get the expected answer.
What is happening? How can I force Maple to evaluate the limit?
inttrans[laplace](cos(w*t)^2,t,s);
(s^2+2*w^2)/(s^2+4*w^2)/s
int(exp(-s*t)*cos(w*t)^2,t=0..infinity)
assuming s>0;
(s^2+2*w^2)/(s^2+4*w^2)/s
int(exp(-s*t)*cos(w*t)^2,t=0..infinity)
assuming s<0;
undefined
