Inverse Laplace Transform of Stretched Exponential

557 Views Asked by At

I have a Laplace tranform in the form given below

$$\mathcal{L}(s)=\text{exp}(-As^{2/\alpha}-Bs^{3/\beta})$$

which is an multiplication of two stretched exponential decay function

where $A,B >0$

I need to find the inverse Laplace transform of this.

$\textit{I know that this cannot be solved symbolically using elementary functions.}$

Can some one suggest and/or refer me to some solution?

Here, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ can take values like $3,4,5...$

Any approximation is also welcome

Hint: Try to expand the exponential function as a power sum.

$$\exp(-As^{2/\alpha}-Bs^{3/\beta})=1+\frac{-As^{2/\alpha}-Bs^{3/\beta}}{1!}+\frac{(-As^{2/\alpha}-Bs^{3/\beta})^2}{2!}+\cdots$$

You will need the following formula for inverting the powers of s.

$$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[ s^\alpha\right]=\frac{t^{-\alpha-1}}{\Gamma(-\alpha)}$$

Where $\Gamma$ is the Gamma function.
