Tables of Laplace Transforms

This material represents a collection of integrals of the Laplace- and inverse Laplace Transform type.

The usef- ness of this kind of information as a tool in various branches of Mathematics is firmly established.

Previous publications include the contributions by A.

Erdelyi and Roberts and Kaufmann (see References). Special consideration is given to results involving higher functions as integrand and it is believed that a substantial amount of them is presented here for the first time.

Greek letters denote complex parameters within the given range of validity.

Latin letters denote (unless otherwise stated) real positive parameters and a possible extension to complex values by analytic continuation will often pose no serious problem.
