THE INTEGRATED INVERSE SPECTRAL PROBLEM

The concept of the integrated inverse spectral problem is discussed. F orce constants and electro-optical parameters of molecules and half-wi dths of spectral bands may be simultaneously determined as a result of solving this problem. A novel expression based on the correlation fac tor and penalty function is offered as a solution to the problem. Opti mal parameters are attained upon achievement of the maximum of the fun ction. A quantitative measure of the similarity between theoretical an d experimental spectra is obtained simultaneously with the search for optimal parameters.
