Abstract
An algorithm is considered for recovering the aerosol size distribution and complex refractive index from optical data measured with a certain error δ. The size distribution and the optical data are related by a linear integral Fredholm equation of the first kind with an inaccurately specified kernel, which is solved by Tikhonov regularization. A new principle is proposed for selecting solutions, which is based on not one solution but a certain set of them. Averaging on that set results in a stable conclusion on the recovery of the aerosol parameters.
