Laplace Transformations of Distributions

Abstract

In a previous paper (2), I discussed conditions in order that a holomorphic function f(w) be a Laplace transform of a function F(t) such that, for some a, F(t)e-at ∈ Lp(0, ∞). These conditions involved (a) the behaviour of integral transforms of the values of the function on a vertical line w = const, and (b) conditions involving the order of magnitude of the function at infinity. The present article discusses the corresponding question for Laplace transforms of distributions.
