An accurate method is presented for the numerical inversion of Laplace transform, which is a natural continuation to Dubner and Abate's method. (Dubner and Abate, 1968). The advantages of this modified procedure are twofold: first, the error bound on the inverse f{t) becomes independent of t, instead of being exponential in t; second, and consequently, the trigonometric series obtained for fit) in terms of F(s) is valid on the whole period 2T of the series. As it is proved, this error bound can be set arbitrarily small, and it is always possible to get good results, even in rather difficult cases. Particular implementations and numerical examples are presented.
