The question is how many different f > we set as the input so that we have enough output(s) of y to estimate (a*t)/a, so if you know y0 it is enough to measure y at one non-zero value of t. If you don't know y0, you need two measurements, y1 = y (t1) and y2 = y(t2). This gives two nonlinear equations to be solved for y0 and a. These can be tackled numerically using your favorite equation-solving routine. R.G.
