  • Abstract
    The two key steps in Prony´s method are interpreted as two key approximation problems. In the first, a nonhomogeneous, constant coefficient, linear difference equation is fitted to the samples. This difference equation is fitted so that the nonhomogeneous part of the difference equation is minimized in the least-squares sense. For the second problem, a homogeneous solution to the difference equation is obtained that minimizes the particular solution. This homogeneous solution is used to approximate the general solution
