equation 1 (in formal definition). the basis is e^(-st). if you don't know how that's a basis you need to read a little bit about functional analysis but just look at the integral as a continuous sum and f(t) as the basis coefficients and e^(-st) starts to look like a vector space basis (hilbert space) basis.
