Abstract. A new approach to the construction of finite-difference methods is presented. It is shown how the multi-point differentiators can generate regularizing algorithms with a stepsize h being a regularization parameter. The explicitly computable estimation constants are given. Also an iteratively regularized scheme for solving the numerical differentiation problem in the form of Volterra integral equation is developed. 1.

Abstract. Two principally different statements of the problem of stable numerical differentiation are considered. It is analyzed when it is possible in principle to get a stable approximation to the derivative f ′ given noisy data fδ. Computational aspects of the problem are discussed and illustrated by examples. These examples show the practical value of the new understanding of the problem of stable differentiation. 1.

this paper, we suggest a method for numerical differentiation that we believe avoids some of the limitations mentioned above. Given a real valued, smooth function u defined on the closed interval [a; b], we construct an associated functional,
