    Mellin's inversion integral, branch cut problem

    I recently had to solve a problem in which i had to find the inverse laplace transform of some function with a branch cut from - ∞ to 0, so i used a contour avoiding that branch cut like this http://www.solitaryroad.com/c916/ole19.gif my problem is as follows: i know the contributions from...

    The error caused by the lagrange inversion

    Hi, I have problem with the calculation the error caused by the lagrange inversion. Hence, accroding to Lagrange theorem if f(w)=z it is possible to find w=g(z) where g(z) is given by a series. I wonder, if I consider up to N-th term in the Lagrange series, what will be the error caused by...

    Complex inversion formula (branch cut issue)

    Hi, first time trying to to use the complex inversion formula and I'm confusing myself. I'm trying to find L^-1{ ln(1 + (1/s))} I can see that there is an essential pole at s=0 (is this even right? The power series has an infinite amount of z^n's in the denominator..) and branch points at...

    What is wrong with my Laplace Transform inversion for y''+13y'-4y = 3exp(-t)?

    I'm inverting this: Y = s2 + 15s + 17 / [(s+1)(s2 + 13s - 4)] I'm using PF expansion, A/(s+1) + Bs + C/(s2 + 13s - 4), I however keep on getting wrong answers, seeing how Runge-Kutta and Taylor approximation disagrees with my final equation. My final equation is...

    Topological Insulators and Inversion Symmetry

    Hi, I was curious if specific symmetries (or lack thereof) in crystal structure are necessary for the formation of topological insulators. Specifically, do we require that inversion symmetry (or inversion asymmetry) be present in the lattice in order to form the TI state? Thanks, Goalie33

    Laplace Inversion: Why Contour Must Exceed Singularities
