Hi!
Suppose R = C = 1 then the transfer function from the input voltage to the voltage across the capacitor is 1/ (s+1). So Vc(S) / V(S) = 1/(s+1). Getting back to time-domain: Vc(t) = V(t) * e^-t. What's wrong here? It should have been V(t) ( 1 - e^-t ).
The rising function is step( transfer_function ) and the decaying one is ezplot ( ilaplace ( transfer_function )). Why are these two not the same?
Thank you!

What does the circuit look like?
Where are you measuring the output voltage?

Problem solved! It had to been multiplied with 1/s (step response) then converted to time domain. Thank you anyway!!!
