Laplace II: Steps, Impulses & Convolution · Superchallenge problem

A damped oscillator starts at rest and is driven by a force of magnitude at most 11: y′′+2y′+2y=f(t)y''+2y'+2y=f(t), y(0)=y′(0)=0y(0)=y'(0)=0, ∣f(t)∣≤1|f(t)|\le1. Over all such forces and all times t≥0t\ge0, find the least upper bound of y(t)y(t).
