In mathematics, the inverse Laplace transform of a function F(s) is the function f(t) which has the property , or alternatively , where denotes the Laplace transform.

It can be proven, that if a function has the inverse Laplace transform , i.e. is a piecewise-continuous and exponentially-restricted real function satisfying the condition

then is uniquely determined (considering functions which differ from each other only on a point set having Lebesgue measure zero as the same). This result was first proven by Mathias Lerch in 1903.[1]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
