Convergence of matrix inversion for divisor-function values

From papers

Let M,NM,N be integers and let QN\mathbf{Q}_N be the matrix defined from the normalized functions Qk(2πn)Q_k(2\pi n) by

QN={Qk(2πn)e2πn}0kN21<nN.\mathbf{Q}_N=\left\{Q_k(2\pi n)e^{-2\pi n}\right\}_{\substack{0\leqslant k\leqslant N-2\\1<n\leqslant N}}.

Let 1\mathbf{1} be the all-ones vector.

Matrix convergence conjecture. The first M1M-1 entries of

QN11-\mathbf{Q}_N^{-1}\mathbf{1}

tend to the values σ1(n)\sigma_1(n) for 2nM2\leqslant n\leqslant M as NN\to\infty.

This gives a proposed deterministic recovery method for divisor-function values from the exponential-sum constraint system. The source does not provide a proof of the limiting assertion.
