Abstract

There are many problems whose solution may be found in terms of a Laplace or Fourier transform, which is then too complicated for inversion using the techniques of complex analysis. In this chapter, we discuss some of the methods that have been developed—and in some cases are still being developed—for the numerical evaluation of the inverse.
