In mathematics, the Mellin inversion formula (named after Hjalmar Mellin) tells us conditions underwhich the inverse Mellin transform, or equivalently the inverse two-sided Laplace transform, are defined and recover the transformed function.

If φ ( s ) {displaystyle varphi (s)} is analytic in the strip a < ℜ ( s ) < b {displaystyle a<Re (s)<b} ,and if it tends to zero uniformly as ℑ ( s ) → ± ∞ {displaystyle Im (s) o pm infty } for any real value c between a and b, with its integral along such a line converging absolutely, then if
