Abstract
English
The well known Prony method was introduced to reconstruct finite linear combinations of complex exponentials. A first approach towards generalizing this method to more arbitrary expansions was made by Peter & Plonka in 2013. Based on their work, this thesis generalizes the classical Prony method in a purely operator-based way to finite linear combinations of eigenfunctions of certain linear operators. The major achievements are thereby a more flexible way of data acquisition and a full embedding of all existing examples of the classical Prony method. Furthermore, new examples including the Stieltjes-Wigert polynomials have been given and it was also possible to derive a general treatment of linear combinations into Sturm-Liouville type polynomials in the context of the Prony method.
