ilt (expr, t, s)

Description

Computes the inverse Laplace transform of expr with respect to t and parameter s. expr must be a ratio of polynomials whose denominator has only linear and quadratic factors. By using the functions laplace and ilt together with the solve or linsolve functions the user can solve a single differential or convolution integral equation or a set of them.
