In this text we study, for positive random variables, the relation between the behaviour of the Laplace transform near infinity and the distribution near zero. A result of De Bruijn shows that $E(e^{-\lambda X}) \sim \exp(r\lambda^\alpha)$…

We calculate exactly the Laplace transform of the Fr\'{e}chet distribution in the form $\gamma x^{-(1+\gamma)} \exp(-x^{-\gamma})$, $\gamma > 0$, $0 \leq x < \infty$, for arbitrary rational values of the shape parameter $\gamma$, i.e. for…
In testing the independence of two Gaussian populations, one computes the distribution of the sample canonical correlation coefficients, given that the actual correlation is zero. The "Laplace transform" of this distribution is not only an…

For a given wave function one can define a quantity $\mu_E$ having a meaning of its inverse spatial size. The Laplace transform of the distribution function $P(\mu_E)$ is calculated analytically for a 1D disordered sample with a finite…
