It is shown that model-fitting solutions for closely located nonlinear parameters of sums of functions of the same family, such a multiexponentials, are only distinct in a sub- space of the Euclidean space of the errors in the observations. In the complementary space, the solutions for two or more of the nonlinear parameters exactly coincide. Subspaces of the complementary space each correspond with the coincidence of the solutions for the parameters of specific terms of the sum model. Earlier studies concentrated on the case that the linear parameters, such as the amplitudes of the exponentials, are known, and only two solutions for the nonlinear parameters coincide. The analysis presented generalizes these results and extends them to include the solving for the linear parameters and multiple coincidence. Also, a procedure is proposed for the computation of the errors that have minimum energy among all errors causing coincidence. This minimum energy may be used as a simple scalar criterion to find out to what extent res- olution is to be expected for assumed parameter values and er- ror energy. For least squares model fitting, the proposed pro- cedure is shown to be particularly simple.
