Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reconstructing a parameter of a lithographic process. The method comprises the step of designing a preconditioner suitable for an input system comprising the difference of a first matrix and a second matrix, the first matrix being arranged to have a multi-level structure of at least three levels whereby at least two of said levels comprise a Toeplitz structure. One such preconditioner is a block-diagonal matrix comprising a BTTB structure generated from a matrix-valued inverse generating function. A second such preconditioner is determined from an approximate decomposition of said first matrix into one or more Kronecker products.

Abstract: A method for executing and translating a computer program in a computer network, in particular for controlling a microscope, wherein in the case of at least one function call to the relevant second function, multiple return values from multiple preceding function calls are transferred as separate parameters. This allows significantly more complex and flexible function calls. More flexibility in the execution of container-based functions of a computer program in a computer network can additionally be achieved in that the computer program has not only function calls but also instructions for controlling the program flow, for example instructions for the conditional execution of program sections and jump instructions. The development of container-based computer programs can be simplified and speeded up by providing a database that contains the execution requirements of the function modules and also the interface definitions thereof. This permits a static typing of variables.
