A stable high‐accuracy method for calculating the inverse of Abel’s integral equation for experimentally derived data is presented. The method employs a piece‐wise cubic spline function, least‐squares fitted to the data, to represent the function as inverted. Three formulas, two of which are based on the well‐known analytic inverses of Abel’s equation and a new one, which was recently developed by the authors and does not contain an explicit derivative, are given for calculating the inverse numerically. The results of numerical tests performed using these formulas on simulated data are presented and compared with the results obtained using other published methods. The comparative study indicates that our method, employing piece‐wise least‐squares cubic splines, accurately reproduces the inverse function, regardless of the inversion formula employed. It yields markedly better results than do all the other methods compared in this study, when highly error free, sparse, or very noisy data are inverted. The e...
