Abstract

The method introduced by Backus and Gilbert to study geophysical inversion problems may be readily applied to the inversion problems of radiation transfer theory. Using the inversion of limb-darkening data as an example, we show how the method provides a quantitative estimate of the amount and reliability of the information that can be extracted from a given set of noisy data.
