When an inverse Laplace integrand contains on the principal branch, closing the Bromwich contour to the left encloses isolated poles and wraps a branch cut along the negative real axis. Pole residues give persistent oscillatory terms, while the jump across the two sides of the cut gives a real decaying integral.
