I have the following system of equations: $\alpha f_1(x) = \int_\mathbb{R} g(k) h_1(k) e^{\mathrm{i}kx} dk$ $\beta f_2(x) = \int_\mathbb{R} g(k) h_2(k) e^{\mathrm{i}kx} dk$
with known functions $f_i(x)$ and $h_i(x)$ and unknown $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $g(k)$.
Before outlining my ansatz, here directly the question:
Under which conditions on $f_1(x)$ and $f_2(x)$ can we calculate the ratio $\frac\beta\alpha$ uniquely?
My approach
The first step was to integrate one of the equations, $\alpha \int_\mathbb{R} f_1(x) e^{-\mathrm{i}\lambda x}dx = \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} g(k) h_1(k) e^{\mathrm{i}(k-\lambda)x} dxdk$ resulting in $\alpha F_1(k) = 2\pi g(k) h_1(k)$ because of $\delta\left(k-\lambda\right) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{\mathrm{i}\left(k-\lambda\right)x}dx$
hence $g(k)$ can be seen as calculated. Plugging this into the second equation, one gets
$2\pi\frac\beta\alpha f_2(x) = \int_\mathbb{R} F_1(k) \frac{h_2(k)}{h_1(k)} e^{\mathrm{i}kx} dk\, .$
Now I think the answer to the question relates to a further integration of this equation via some kernel $K(x)$. I would think that this is somehow the dual of the function $f_2(x)$ like in a Hilbert space. But I don't know if this really gives me a well defined unique result, and, how to calculate the dual of $f_2(x)$.
I would be thankful for any hint
Sincerely
Robert
A little excuse
As some might have noticed, I am at the moment occupied with some questions arising in, say, applied functional analysis. As a physicist I am often not very sure about the justification of what I am doing so I hope it is ok to ask these questions here even though the answers might be obvious to most of the people in this community.
