The inverse Laplace transform

The so called back transformation or inverse Laplace transformation, i.e. the determination of the original function from the mapped function, is given by the inverse integral

(A.2)

where for is valid. The variable must be chosen such that the path of integration is in the convergence area along a line parallel to the imaginary axis at distance from it, where must be larger than the real parts of all singular values of .

It must be observed that Eq. (A.2) at a step location delivers the arithmetic mean value of the left and right limits , particularly for at the origin, as .
