“…Using similar notation, one can define a standard EEM for the feth component N* = akoxk ykT (3) of the mixture matrix M,= L«w'Nfc (4) k=i where aki = aki/ako (5) For ratio deconvolution (19) of an r-component mixture, one needs a set of "r" EEMs, i.e., a series of M; for l = 0, 1, 2,..., r -I. Thus, one can obtain a set of "r" matrices, each of which contains a maximum of only "r" emitters.…”
