[R] laplace transform

[Andrew C. Ward]

Dear Luca,

I don't think that R has a built-in function for doing
Laplace or inverse Laplace transforms. I remember having to
use an IMSL routine (INLP, I think) to do this many years
ago. When I looked at the article that the algorithm was
based on, I found that as an example the author showed how
well the method worked when inverting 1/s! Presumably, 
things have improved since then.

A Google search of (numerical "inverse laplace transform")
yields a number of references that should get you started.
If you write some R code to do this, think about submitting
it to CRAN. Even though a lot of R/S code is devoted to
statistical methods, there's no reason at all why all kinds
of other things can't be written.
 

Regards,
