Modification of the Week's method for numerical inversion of the Laplace transform

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5991759
The Weeks' method for calculating numerical values of f(t) from its Laplace transform F(s) involves the numerical evaluation of a set of contour integrals. In this paper, we describe a powerful modification using which results of comparable accuracy may be obtained using almost precisely half the number of complex function values. This and other possible minor modifications are discussed.
