Time-lag phenomena are significant in automatic control, magnetic circuitry, and elsewhere. From the mathematical viewpoint, these lead to differential-difference equations. The Memorandum shows how these equations can be treated, using a numerical procedure for inverting Laplace transforms. The study should be of interest to control and circuit engineers and to numerical analysts; it is also useful in treating wide classes of equations arising in biology, chemistry, operational research, and similar studies.
