Abstract
In addition to the regularization method the maximum entropy method is also a tool to solve ill-posed problems such as the determination of relaxation or retardation spectra from rheological measurements. We modify the maximum-entropy method to make it more reliable. The use of the method is demonstrated by testing it with synthetic data and by applying it to realistic creep data. The determination of the relaxation spectrum from the measurements of the dynamic moduli G'(w), G"(w) is a particular example where an integral equation of the first kind need to be solved. This task belongs to the class of inverse problems that are known to be ill-posed. In general there is a linear relationship between a measurable quantity G(w) and a distribution function h(1') of the form
