laplace_inverse_talbot — MATH transform op

• Data kinds: signal × signal × signal → signal

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.laplace_inverse_talbot(num, den, t, *, M: 'int' = 32) -> 'np.ndarray' (to call the implementation directly, import mathtransforms; mathtransforms.laplace_inverse_talbot(num, den, t, *, M: 'int' = 32) -> 'np.ndarray'; from the registry, opsmath.get("laplace_inverse_talbot"))

Usage

Numerical inverse Laplace transform of a rational function F(s) = num(s)/den(s) (fixed Talbot method).

The exact solution is produced by tf_impulse_response via the matrix exponential, so whether 2 independent paths give the same f(t) serves as the cross-check of this op. For an arbitrary F(s) (such as 1/√s), use laplace_inverse_func.

Family-wide input contract (fail-closed)

Every mathops op validates its input before computing (nothing slips through silently):

• complex input raises ValueError — coercing to float64 silently discards the imaginary part (numpy only emits a ComplexWarning and returns a plausible-looking wrong real number). State .real/.imag/abs() explicitly, or use complexops, which handles complex data.

• masked arrays with masked elements raise ValueError — the implicit conversion that peels off the mask and uses the raw values underneath is refused. Say explicitly whether to fill or to drop.

• NaN/Inf raises ValueError on every input (refused with the count stated — it propagates through the whole result).

• Shapes are strict: 1-D and 2-D are never implicitly promoted or broadcast (a matrix in a vector slot, or a vector in a matrix slot, raises ValueError; reshape explicitly).

• Size cap: ops that take a matrix, and the stat_histogram bins, raise ValueError beyond mathops.MAX_ELEMENTS (2^26 ≈ 67 million elements).
