Hi, I am trying to take the inverse laplace transform from (Signal and System
with Matlab Application by Steven T. Karris)

I(s) = (s^2+2*s-1)/(2*s^3+9*s^2+6*s+3)

I use the residue command
n = [1 2 -1];
d = [2 9 6 3];
[r,p,k] = residue(n,d)
r =

    0.24020 + 0.00000i
    0.12990 + 0.23250i
    0.12990 - 0.23250i

p =

   -3.81700 + 0.00000i
   -0.34150 + 0.52570i
   -0.34150 - 0.52570i

k = [](0x0)

from this I got the inverse laplace transform of

*0.24*exp(-3.8*t)+exp(-0.34*t)(0.26*cos(0.53*t)-0.46*sin(0.53*t)*

In the book, he got answer of

*0.48*exp(-3.8*t)+exp(-0.34*t)(0.52*cos(0.53*t)-0.92*sin(0.53*t)
*

which is just a factor of 2 from my solution.  In the book he did not use
the residue command.

He did it partial fraction expansion:

(s^2+2*s-1)/(s+3.817)*(s^2+0.683*s+0.393) =
r1/(s+3.817)+(r2*s+r3)/(s^2+0.683*s+0.393)

found r1 = 0.48, r2 = 0.52, r3 = -0.31, thus

0.48/(s+3.817)+(0.52*s-0.31)/(s^2+0.683*s+0.393)

He got the answer as (a scale factor of 2 from my solution).
0.48*exp(-3.82*t)-0.93*exp(-0.34*t)*sin(0.53*t)+0.53*exp(-0.34*t)*cos(0.53*t)

But which one is correct?  I checked both ways of doing it and they seem to
be correct.  What am I doing wrong here?

I'm not sure. I think you're asking a math question rather than an Octave question.

One way to check the two solutions would be to compute the (forward) Laplace transform and check which one gives I(s).

(Note this will give lots of warnings because of those decimal places, but should be close enough for a rough test).

>> laplace(B)

ans = (sym)

          ⎛       2                  ⎞
        4⋅⎝12500⋅s  + 24895⋅s - 12384⎠
  ─────────────────────────────────────────
    ⎛       3          2                  ⎞
  5⋅⎝10000⋅s  + 44800⋅s  + 29805⋅s + 15067⎠


Note that is very close to I. But if you do this with your 0.24*exp()..., the result is also off by a factor of two.

best,
Colin
