I have an expression such as $\int_0^{x+l}y(z)g(x-z) dz$ and I want to evaluate its Laplace transform w.r.t $x$ in terms of the Laplace transform of $y(x)$. I know that I can substitute $t=x+l$, and coerce it into the standard from to get the Laplace transform w.r.t $t$, but I need its transform w.r.t $x$.

Motivation:

I would like to solve an integral equation: $y(x) = f(x) + \int_0^{x+l} y(z) g(x-z) dz$.

If the integral limit had been to $x$, we would have had $y(x) = f(x) + \int_0^{x} y(z) g(x-z) dz$. This leads to $Y(s) = \frac{F(s)}{1+K(s)}$.

    May I ask what made this equation to you?2012-06-28

    @BabakSorouh, as you may guess, I have a certain process where I am trying to calculate some quantity along an axis, the $f(x)$ is an external component and $y(z)g(x-z)$ are local interactions. The applications are related to my research, but it could occur anywhere from EM fields, heat conduction, or chemical and biological processes.2012-06-28
