Using Laplace transform techniques, along with newly-developed accurate numerical inverse Laplace transform algorithms, we decouple the solutions for the singlet structure function $F_s(x,Q^2)$ and $G(x,Q^2)$ of the two leading-order coupled singlet DGLAP equations, allowing us to write fully decoupled solutions: F_s(x,Q^2)={\cal F}_s(F_{s0}(x), G_0(x)), G(x,Q^2)={\cal G}(F_{s0}(x), G_0(x)). Here ${\cal F}_s$ and $\cal G$ are known functions---found using the DGLAP splitting functions---of the functions $F_{s0}(x) \equiv F_s(x,Q_0^2)$ and $G_{0}(x) \equiv G(x,Q_0^2)$, the chosen starting functions at the virtuality $Q_0^2$. As a proof of method, we compare our numerical results from the above equations with the published MSTW LO gluon and singlet $F_s$ distributions, starting from their initial values at $Q_0^2=1 GeV^2$. Our method completely decouples the two LO distributions, at the same time guaranteeing that both distributions satisfy the singlet coupled DGLAP equations. It furnishes us with a new tool for readily obtaining the effects of the starting functions (independently) on the gluon and singlet structure functions, as functions of both $Q^2$ and $Q_0^2$. In addition, it can also be used for non-singlet distributions, thus allowing one to solve analytically for individual quark and gluon distributions values at a given $x$ and $Q^2$, with typical numerical accuracies of about 1 part in $10^5$, rather than having to evolve numerically coupled integral-differential equations on a two-dimensional grid in $x, Q^2$, as is currently done.
