Meanwhile, if f(t) has a complex functional form, e.g., an exponential decay function, the product of the image function of the Laplace transform and the general solution to the model cannot be obtained directly due to the difficulty in solving the inverse. To address this issue, operators are introduced to replace f(t) in the transformation process. Based on the properties of the Laplace transform and the convolution theorem, without the direct involvement of f(t) in the transformation, a general theoretical solution incorporating f(t) is derived, which consists of the product of erfc(t) and f(0), as well as the convolution of erfc(t) and the derivative of f(t). Then, by substituting f(t) into the general theoretical solution, the corresponding analytical solution is formulated. Based on the general theoretical solution, analytical solutions are given for f(t) as a commonly used function. Finally, combined with an exemplifying application demonstration based on the test data of temperature T(x, t) at point x away from the boundary and the characteristics of curve T(x, t) \u2212 t and curve \ud835\udf15T(x, t)\/\ud835\udf15t \u2212 t, the inflection point and curve fitting methods are established for the inversion of model parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12080770","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,9]],"date-time":"2023-08-09T10:30:48Z","timestamp":1691577048000},"page":"770","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Laplace Transform Shortcut Solution to a One-Dimensional Heat Conduction Model with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5592-3079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban Construction and Transportation, Hefei University, Hefei 230601, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuezan","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Honglei","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Tao, W.Q.
