Hello,
I am searching for some kind of transform if it is possible, similar to a Fourier transform, but for an arbitrary function.
Sort of an inverse convolution but with a kernel that varies in each point.
Or, like I say in the title of this topic a sort of continuous equivalent of fitting a curve to a sum of functions.
For example if I want to use Gaussians, I want to reproduce a function F(x)
As:
F(x) = \int \frac{f(y)}{\sqrt{4\pi t(y)}}e^{-\frac{(x-y)^2}{4 t(y)}} dy
Notice how t is a function of y.
This is easy for a finite sum of Gaussians with linear regression, but I'm searching for a continuous equivalent.
The closest thing that I found for Gausses is a Weierstrass transform. But the 'standard deviation' of the gausses doesn't vary in each point.
There are a ton of subjects that come close (linear regression, inverse convolution, Weierstrass transform,..) but they either are discrete or lack the variability of the convoluting kernel.
Does someone know a mathematical technique that can do this? Or know in what direction I have to look? Thanks!
