CONTIN
Applications:
- Inversion of data represented by linear algebraic or integral
equations, such as general analysis of multi-exponential decay (Laplace
inversion) or estimating secondary structure from
circular dichroism;
- Most aspects of the problem can be easily modified in small
user-oriented modules; too many applications to list here have been
implemented by users;
- Running in hundreds of laboratories with a wide variety of computers.
The methods are described in:

analysis of polydispersity with photon correlation spectroscopy. Makromol.
Chem. 180, 201 (1979).

data represented by linear algebraic or integral equations. Comput. Phys.

program for inverting noisy linear algebraic and integral equations.
