Hello to all. It has been years since I last made a post:-)! A colleague of mine gave me the following InverseLaplaceTransform[1/(1 + (a*I*s)^(-b)), s, t] Mathematica 8 returns the transform unevaluated. The values of the parameters are: 0<b<1 0<a<10 I am puzzled with the behavior of the integrand. For a=2 and b=3/10 e.g. there is a branch cut along the imaginary axis. I cannot figure out the positions of poles. Any ideas of evaluating symbolically (or numerically) this inverse transform? Thank you very much in advance for your response.
