r"""The "fixed" Talbot method deforms the Bromwich contour towards
`-\infty` in the shape of a parabola. Traditionally the Talbot
algorithm has adjustable parameters, but the "fixed" version
does not. The `r` parameter could be passed in as a parameter,
if you want to override the default given by (Abate & Valko,
2004).
The Laplace parameter is sampled along a parabola opening
along the negative imaginary axis, with the base of the
parabola along the real axis at
`p=\frac{r}{t_\mathrm{max}}`. As the number of terms used in
the approximation (degree) grows, the abscissa required for
function evaluation tend towards `-\infty`, requiring high
precision to prevent overflow. If any poles, branch cuts or
other singularities exist such that the deformed Bromwich
contour lies to the left of the singularity, the method will
fail.

**Options**
:func:`~mpmath.invertlaplace` recognizes the following optional
keywords valid for all methods:
*method*
Chooses numerical inverse Laplace transform algorithm
(described below).
*degree*
Number of terms used in the approximation
**Algorithms**
Mpmath implements four numerical inverse Laplace transform
algorithms, attributed to: Talbot, Stehfest, and de Hoog,
Knight and Stokes. These can be selected by using
*method='talbot'*, *method='stehfest'*, *method='dehoog'* or
*method='cohen'* or by passing the classes *method=FixedTalbot*,
*method=Stehfest*, *method=deHoog*, or *method=Cohen*. The functions
:func:`~mpmath.invlaptalbot`, :func:`~mpmath.invlapstehfest`,
:func:`~mpmath.invlapdehoog`, and :func:`~mpmath.invlapcohen`
are also available as shortcuts.
All four algorithms implement a heuristic balance between the
requested precision and the precision used internally for the
calculations. This has been tuned for a typical exponentially
decaying function and precision up to few hundred decimal
digits.
The Laplace transform converts the variable time (i.e., along
a line) into a parameter given by the right half of the
complex `p`-plane. Singularities, poles, and branch cuts in
the complex `p`-plane contain all the information regarding
the time behavior of the corresponding function. Any numerical
method must therefore sample `p`-plane "close enough" to the
singularities to accurately characterize them, while not
getting too close to have catastrophic cancellation, overflow,
or underflow issues. Most significantly, if one or more of the
singularities in the `p`-plane is not on the left side of the
Bromwich contour, its effects will be left out of the computed
solution, and the answer will be completely wrong.
*Talbot*
The fixed Talbot method is high accuracy and fast, but the
method can catastrophically fail for certain classes of time-domain
behavior, including a Heaviside step function for positive
time (e.g., `H(t-2)`), or some oscillatory behaviors. The
Talbot method usually has adjustable parameters, but the
"fixed" variety implemented here does not. This method
deforms the Bromwich integral contour in the shape of a
parabola towards `-\infty`, which leads to problems
when the solution has a decaying exponential in it (e.g., a
Heaviside step function is equivalent to multiplying by a
decaying exponential in Laplace space).
*Stehfest*
The Stehfest algorithm only uses abscissa along the real axis
of the complex `p`-plane to estimate the time-domain
function. Oscillatory time-domain functions have poles away
from the real axis, so this method does not work well with
oscillatory functions, especially high-frequency ones. This
method also depends on summation of terms in a series that
grows very large, and will have catastrophic cancellation
during summation if the working precision is too low.
*de Hoog et al.*
The de Hoog, Knight, and Stokes method is essentially a
Fourier-series quadrature-type approximation to the Bromwich
contour integral, with non-linear series acceleration and an
analytical expression for the remainder term. This method is
typically one of the most robust. This method also involves the
greatest amount of overhead, so it is typically the slowest of the
four methods at high precision.
*Cohen*
The Cohen method is a trapezoidal rule approximation to the Bromwich
contour integral, with linear acceleration for alternating
series. This method is as robust as the de Hoog et al method and the
fastest of the four methods at high precision, and is therefore the
default method.
**Singularities**
All numerical inverse Laplace transform methods have problems
at large time when the Laplace-space function has poles,
singularities, or branch cuts to the right of the origin in
the complex plane. For simple poles in `\bar{f}(p)` at the
`p`-plane origin, the time function is constant in time (e.g.,
`\mathcal{L}\left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace=1/p` has a pole at
`p=0`). A pole in `\bar{f}(p)` to the left of the origin is a
decreasing function of time (e.g., `\mathcal{L}\left\lbrace
e^{-t/2} \right\rbrace=1/(p+1/2)` has a pole at `p=-1/2`), and
a pole to the right of the origin leads to an increasing
function in time (e.g., `\mathcal{L}\left\lbrace t e^{t/4}
\right\rbrace = 1/(p-1/4)^2` has a pole at `p=1/4`). When
singularities occur off the real `p` axis, the time-domain
function is oscillatory. For example `\mathcal{L}\left\lbrace
\mathrm{J}_0(t) \right\rbrace=1/\sqrt{p^2+1}` has a branch cut
starting at `p=j=\sqrt{-1}` and is a decaying oscillatory
function, This range of behaviors is illustrated in Duffy [3]
Figure 4.10.4, p. 228.
In general as `p \rightarrow \infty` `t \rightarrow 0` and
vice-versa. All numerical inverse Laplace transform methods
require their abscissa to shift closer to the origin for
larger times. If the abscissa shift left of the rightmost
singularity in the Laplace domain, the answer will be
completely wrong (the effect of singularities to the right of
the Bromwich contour are not included in the results).
For example, the following exponentially growing function has
a pole at `p=3`:
.. math ::
\bar{f}(p)=\frac{1}{p^2-9}
.. math ::
f(t)=\frac{1}{3}\sinh 3t
>>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
>>> fp = lambda p: 1/(p*p-9)
>>> ft = lambda t: sinh(3*t)/3
>>> tt = [0.01,0.1,1.0,10.0]
>>> ft(tt[0]),invertlaplace(fp,tt[0],method='talbot')
(0.0100015000675014, 0.0100015000675014)
>>> ft(tt[1]),invertlaplace(fp,tt[1],method='talbot')
(0.101506764482381, 0.101506764482381)
>>> ft(tt[2]),invertlaplace(fp,tt[2],method='talbot')
