Use of continuous optimization methods to find carbon links in 2D INADEQUATE spectra.

The 2-D INADEQUATE experiment is a useful experiment for determining carbon structures of organic molecules, which is known for having low signal-to-noise ratios. A non-linear optimization method for solving low-signal spectra resulting from this experiment is introduced to compensate. The method relies on the peak locations defined by the INADEQUATE experiment to create boxes around these areas and measure the signal in each.
