Abstract: In our study, we conducted calculations to determine scale factors in Cartesian coordinates for the inverse problem, revealing the consistency of regularized coefficients for atoms and fragments within the molecules we analyzed. Furthermore, we observed the transfer of the scale factors among similar fragments in related compounds for two molecules — piperidine and 4-piperidinemethanol. This work confirms the effectiveness of previously developed algorithms for calculating regularized scale factors for correcting the matrix of force constants (Hessian) in Cartesian coordinates.

Keywords: inverse spectroscopic problem, ill-posed problems, regularized scaling factors, numerical methods, piperidine, 4-piperidinemethanol.
