Modification of the weeks method for numerical inversion of the Laplace transform

Journal Article · · Math. Comput.; (United States)
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, by means of which results of comparable accuracy can be obtained using approximately half the number of complex function values. This and other possible minor modifications are discussed.
