Advantage: general formulation
Solutions: a) regularized unfolding iterative algorithm [KASCADE Collaboration , Astropart.Phys. 24 (2005) 1]
b) parameterization of inverse problem + + a priory spectral info. [GAMMA Collaboration, Astropart.Phys. 28 (2007) 169]
Disadvantage:Pseudo solutions for elemental spectra and undefined systematic errors for unfolding algorithms (KASCADE). [S. Ter-Antonyan, Astropart.Phys. 28 (2007) 321]
Advantage: simplicity
Solution: analytical or numerical integration[J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 35 (2008) 115]
Disadvantage: ? The most experiments ignore the methodic errors.
