Abstract
We describe a systematic approach to the recovery of a function analytic in the upper half plane, ${\bfC:^+$, from measurements over a finite interval on the real axis, $D\subset {\bfR}$. Analytic continuation problems of this type are well-known to ill-posed. Thus, the best one can hope for is a simple, linear procedure which exposes this underlying difficulty and solves the problem in a least squares sense to accomplish this, we first construct an explicit analytic approximation of the desired function and recast the continuation problem in terms of a residual function defined on the defined on the measurement window $D$ itself. The result procedure is robust in the presence of noise and we demonstrate its performance with some numerical experiments.
