Shehu transform

In mathematics, the Shehu transform is an integral transform which generalizes both the Laplace transform and the Sumudu transform. It was introduced by Shehu Maitama and Weidong Zhao in 2019 and applied to both ordinary differential equation and partial differential equation.

Formal definition
