Abstract The paper by Markarov [ Surface and Interface Analysis , 20 , 1993, pp. 821–826] considered the important problem of deconvolution of depth profiling data. In this note, we consider the problem of convoluting the initial Gaussian profile with a double exponential resolution function. The paper by Markarov only provided an asymptotic treatment of this problem. Here, we provide exact results, various approximations as well as a simple computer program.
