An iterative technique for fitting exponentials

An interative method to fit the function documentclass{article}pagestyle{empty}begin{document}$mathop [y = sumnolimits_i^n { = 1} a_i e^{lix}] $end{document} to data is considered. The technique used is that of inversion of a linear differential operator with constant coefficients. This method reproduces the parameters for mathematically precise data and gives satisfactory results when the data are affected by random errors.
