On local stability in the complete Prony problem

In the variational Prony problem of approximating observations x by the sum of exponentials, expressions are obtained for critical points and second derivatives of the implicit function θ(x) of exponents' dependence on x data. Upper bounds are proposed for the second order increments ||Δ₂ θ|| with a description of the Δx area where θ(x) is approximately linear.  As a consequence, the lower bounds for ||Δθ|| are obtained for small perturbations in x.  A comparison with the upper bounds for ||Δθ|| by Wilkinson's inequality is given
