Numerical inversion of characteristic functions

Abstract To anyone working with characteristic functions, or with Laplace transforms of a non-negative random variable, the three papers by Harald Bohman (1971, 1974, 1975) are invaluable. Numerical integration over an infinite interval is extraordinarily beset with pitfalls (vide Davis & Rabinowitz, 1975) and the publication of actual results achieved in actuarial fields is of great value.
