Dear MOs, I need to calculate the inverse Laplace transform of the following function $$ g_a(z) = \frac{e^{a z}\: \text{erfc}(\sqrt{a z})}{\sqrt{z}-2},\quad a>0. $$ I have checked, among many others, the book ["Table of Integral Transform, Vol. I"][1]. In P.267, Eq. (14) is for $$ g(z) = \frac{e^{a z}\: \text{erfc}(\sqrt{a z})}{\sqrt{z}} $$ which is almost what I need. Other than this formula, I didn't find the one that I need. I have tried mathematica, which couldn't give an answer. I think the hope to find out the solution is quite small. EIDT: here is some motivation of the problem. Suppose the inverse transform gives us a function $f_a(t)$. I want to see the limit $$\lim_{a\rightarrow 0_+} f_a(t)=?$$ Can I simply do this: $$ \lim_{a \rightarrow 0_+} \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left(g_a\right)(t) \stackrel{?}{=} \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left(\lim_{a\rightarrow 0_+} g_a\right)(t) = \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left(g_0\right)(t) =\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi t}} + 2 e^{4t} \text{erfc}(-2\sqrt{t}) $$ Thank you very much for any hints!
