Deconvolution experimental data by solving as Tikhonov regulation of Fredholm integral equation

48 Views Asked by At

From an experiment, I have data for time t and a function of time $f(t)$. Data can be described by a Fredholm integral equation such that:

$$ F(t) = \int_{0}^{1}ke^{-kt}f(k) \,{\rm d} k $$

Here is the data:

t f(t)
1.221 1.03114
3.34709 0.72101
5.81983 0.51572

74.59424 0.0247
77.22874 0.02443
79.95569 0.02177

My goal is to find $f(k)$ and $k$ that satisfies the equation.


I am not a mathematician and this type of maths is exotic to me!
