Decay of Laplace (or Mellin) transform beyond region of convergence?

Let $f:[0,\infty)\to \mathbb{R}$ be a piecewise differentiable function with $f(0)=0$ and $f'(t)$ of bounded variation. Its Laplace transform $\mathcal{L}f$ converges for $\Re s > 0$. Assume it can ...

Laplace transform injectivity for different values of $p$

Let $y\in L^{2}(0,1)$ and let $\widetilde{y}$ be its extension on $(0,\infty ).$ Assume that there exist $p_{0},p_{1}\in %TCIMACRO{\U{2102} }% %BeginExpansion \mathbb{C} %EndExpansion ,$ $p_{0}\neq ...
