Hi all,

I'm afraid this question has already appeared in this forum, but here it goes 
again.

I'm curious about why the inverse_laplace() function can't successfully invert 
some
well-known, nevertheless rather simple, functions.  Let's take exp(-as)/s as an
example, whose inverse is the Heaviside function H(t-a):

var('s,t')
f = (exp(-s)/s).inverse_laplace(s,t); f

The evaluation of the second line produces:

ilt(e^(-s)/s, s, t)

Which, obviously, is not a satisfactory answer.  What happens here?

How does inverse_laplace() work?

Regards,

Fausto
