What is Inverse laplace transform: Definition and 165 Discussions
In mathematics, the inverse Laplace transform of a function F(s) is the piecewise-continuous and exponentially-restricted real function f(t) which has the property:
L
{
f
}
(
s
)
=
L
{
f
(
t
)
}
(
s
)
=
F
(
s
)
,
{\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}\{f\}(s)={\mathcal {L}}\{f(t)\}(s)=F(s),}
where
L
{\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}}
denotes the Laplace transform.
It can be proven that, if a function F(s) has the inverse Laplace transform f(t), then f(t) is uniquely determined (considering functions which differ from each other only on a point set having Lebesgue measure zero as the same). This result was first proven by Mathias Lerch in 1903 and is known as Lerch's theorem.The Laplace transform and the inverse Laplace transform together have a number of properties that make them useful for analysing linear dynamical systems.
I know that there is the Bromwich integral which inverts the Laplace Transform but it requires the function to have poles.
I am wondering if there is a formula for inverting a function which decays rapidly but has no poles?
I've been messing around with Laplace transforms. Anyway to get to the point I arrived at a "solution" in the s domain and got stuck.
