TSpectrum::Deconvolution


_ROOT Version:6.14/04


Hello everyone,

I try to use the Deconvolution of the TSpectrum class and I get results I cannot understand.
This deconvolution process is based on the gold deconvolution algorithm. You can see explanations in the following website :
Gold deconvolution process.

Deconvolution(double *source,double *response, int size, int numberIterations, int numberRepetitions)
What I understood is that we set the source in argument is the y, the response is the h and after the process, the y is transformed to be x the solution of the system.

I tried to use this to solve a convolution between a gaussian signal (the h) and a random x (that I chose). After deconvolution, I cannot get the x at all. Here is my very simple code :

void Deconv_test() {
/*** Fill the x and h ***/

// x
int N=20;
double *x = new double[N];
x[0]=1.0; x[1]=33.0; x[2]=5.0; x[3]=4.0; x[4]=10.1; x[5]=22.3; x[6]=6.0; x[7]=8.7; x[8]=9.3; x[9]=1.1;
x[10]=0.2; x[11]=0.3; x[12]=1.05; x[13]=5.7; x[14]=1.2; x[15]=0.2; x[16]=3.6; x[17]=7.0; x[18]=1.0; x[19]=0.1;

// elec
int Nr=14.0; 
double sigma = 1.5;
double *elec=new double[Nr];
for(int i = 0 ; i < Nr ; i++) {
	elec[i] = exp(-0.5 * (i - Nr/2) * (i - Nr/2) / sigma / sigma);
        elec[i] = elec[i] / sqrt(2 * M_PI) / sigma;}
double sum=0.0;
for (int i=0 ; i < Nr ; i++) sum += elec[i];
for (int i = 0 ; i < Nr ; i++) elec[i] = elec[i] * 100. / sum;

// h (to be at the same format as the Deconvolution method) OR response !
double *h=new double[N];
for(int i=0;i<N;i++) h[i]=0.0;
for(int i=0;i<N;i++) h[i]=elec[i];

/*** Convolution ***/

double** H = new double*[2*N];  
for (int i=0;i<2*N;i++) H[i]=new double[N];
for (int i = 0; i < 2*N; i++) {
	for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) H[i][j] = 0.0;   }
for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
   	for (int i = j; i < j+N; i++) H[i][j] = h[i-j]; }

double *source=new double[2*N]; // or y 
for(int k=0;k<2*N;k++) {
	source[k]=0;
	for(int j=0;j<N;j++) 
		source[k]+=H[k][j]*x[j]; }


/*** Deconvolution ***/

TSpectrum *s = new TSpectrum();
s->Deconvolution(source,h,N,1000,1,1);
for(int i=0;i<N;i++) cout << x[i] <<" "<< source[i]<<endl;

delete[] source;
delete[] h;
delete[] x;
delete[] elec;
delete[] H;

}

I printed values of the source after the process and the values of x, they are completely different. There should be something I did not understand in the use of this method.

Thank you in advance for your answer,

I do not know if it helps but the documentation is here:
https://root.cern/doc/master/classTSpectrum.html#a81b35e9f63977f017e8a31295f01e05e

and the source code there:
https://root.cern/doc/master/TSpectrum_8cxx_source.html#l01459

Thank you for your answer Couet.
I have ever seen these documentations but it did not help to find the problem unfortunately.
