Analytic continuation from limited noisy Matsubara data

Abstract

This note proposes a new algorithm for estimating spectral function from limited noisy Matsubara data. We consider both the molecule and condensed matter cases. In each case, the algorithm constructs an interpolant of the Matsubara data and uses conformal mapping and Prony's method to estimate the spectral function. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm.
