Laplace II: Steps, Impulses & Convolution · Superchallenge problem

A continuous function yy on t≥0t\ge0, of exponential order, satisfies the nonlinear convolution equation y′(t)=∫0ty(τ) y(t−τ) dτy'(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^t y(\tau)\,y(t-\tau)\,d\tau with y(0)=1y(0)=1. Use the Laplace transform to find ∫0∞e−3t y(t) dt\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-3t}\,y(t)\,dt. Give an exact answer.
