Inverse Stieltjes transform in Wolfram Language?

Posted 11 months ago

Has someone implemented an inverse Stieltjes Transform in Mathematica? In the following example, I'm hoping to recover Beta PDF from its Stieltjes Transform in a robust way.

dist = BetaDistribution[1/2, 1];
stieltjes = Expectation[1/(s - y), y \[Distributed] dist]

Because Stieltjes transform is equivalent to Laplace Transform performed twice, this would give an alternative way of recovering density from MGF (Mathematica's InverseLaplaceTransform gets stuck inverting Beta mgf directly)

mgf = MomentGeneratingFunction[BetaDistribution[1/2, 1], t];
doubleLaplace = LaplaceTransform[mgf, t, s] // FullSimplify;
doubleLaplace == stieltjes (*True if s>1*)
