Abstract

We formulate the problem of numerical analytic continuation in a way that lets us drawmeaningful conclusions about the properties of the spectral function based solely on the input data. Apart from ensuring consistency with the input data (within their error bars) and the a priori and a posteriori (conditional) constraints, it is crucial to reliably characterize the accuracy-or even ambiguity-of the output. We explain how these challenges can be met with two approaches: stochastic optimization with consistent constraints and the modified maximum entropy method. We perform illustrative tests for spectra with a double-peak structure, where we critically examine which spectral properties are accessible (second peak position and its spectral weight) and which ones are lost (second peak width/ shape). For an important practical example, we apply our protocol to the Fermi polaron problem.
