Hi,

The term of a model, i need to transform is
(0.25*a^2*Erf[(a - 2*b*x)/(2*(c*x)^0.5)])/(b^2*x^3)

(a,b,c  are parameters)

The transformation, which mathematica didn't do was

LaplaceTransform[Erf[(a - 2*b*x)/(2*Sqrt[c*x])], x, s]

I performed the transformation by partial integration. This leads to

((-b)*E^((a*(b - a*Sqrt[c/a^2]*Sqrt[b^2/c + s]))/c) + (Sqrt[c] -
a*Sqrt[c/a^2]*E^((a*(b - a*Sqrt[c/a^2]*Sqrt[b^2/c + s]))/c))*
Sqrt[b^2/c + s])/(Sqrt[c]*s*Sqrt[b^2/c + s])

now i want to transform the first term. The Problem is that the
Erf-Expression is part of a product...
