• Abstract: Single-image super-resolution (SISR) requires global context modeling for structurally consistent reconstruction. Fourier operators are increasingly adopted for global feature modeling. However, their periodic spectral bases constrain the representation of localized aperiodic variations, limiting the recovery of irregular structures and fine details. In dynamical systems, the Laplace neural operator extends Fourier modes to complex frequencies and decomposes the output signal into complementary steady-state and transient responses to jointly model periodic and aperiodic information. We derive, for the first time, an approximate steady-transient decomposition for two-dimensional feature maps, providing an analytical basis for the proposed complex-frequency decomposition. Accordingly, we propose LaST-SR, centered on a Complex-Frequency Decomposition module that couples a global full-spectrum Fourier branch for image-wide dependencies and long-range structural consistency with a window-conditioned local complex-frequency branch for localized, content-dependent aperiodic variations. To fuse the resulting features, we further design a Steady-Transient Collaborative Aggregation module for cross-branch interaction and joint aggregation. Experiments on five benchmarks show that LaST-SR achieves the best PSNR/SSIM among the compared methods for $\times2$ and $\times4$ SISR. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture and its key modeling mechanisms.
