Sufficient conditions for the integral to converge are that is a positive real number, and $f(t)=\mathop{O\/}\nolimits\!\left(t^{{-\delta}}\right)$ as $t\to\infty$ , where $\delta>0$ .

If the integral converges, then it converges uniformly in any compact domain in the complex -plane not containing any point of the interval $(-\infty,0]$ . In this case, $\mathop{\mathcal{S}\/}\nolimits\left(f;s\right)$ represents an analytic function in the -plane cut along the negative real axis, and

1.14.48 $\frac{{d}^{m}}{{ds}^{m}}\mathop{\mathcal{S}\/}\nolimits\left(f;s\right)=(-1)^{% m}m!\int^{\infty}_{0}\frac{f(t)dt}{(s+t)^{{m+1}}},$ $m=0,1,2,\dots$ .
