Abstract:
 In this article, we show that Laplace transform can be applied to
 fractional system. To this end, solutions of linear fractional-order equations
 are first derived by a direct method, without using Laplace transform.
 Then the solutions of  fractional-order differential equations are estimated
 by employing  Gronwall and Holder inequalities. They are showed be
 to of exponential order, which are necessary to apply the Laplace transform.
 Based on the estimates of solutions, the  fractional-order and the integer-order
 derivatives of solutions are all estimated to be exponential order.
 As a result, the Laplace transform is proved to be valid  in  fractional 
 equations.
