ABSTRACT
The Schmidt method of solving a system of inhomogeneous linear equations uses physically plausible iterative relaxations to arrive at the exact solution in the analytical form of a quotient of two Hankel determinants. This chapter recapitulates the derivation of the solution of the linear equations to appreciate the result of direct relevance for solving the quantification problem via harmonic inversion in the time domain. It illustrates how the Shanks transform is naturally ingrained in the Schmidt exact iterative solution of the system of inhomogeneous linear equations.
