A formal framework is constructed for the comparison of different stabilization techniques, such as Wiener filtering, regularization, Courant's method and Landweber–Strand iterations, for the solution of first kind integral equations. It is shown that, when they are applied to convolution equations, all these methods can be reinterpreted as Wiener filters. This equivalence is then used to derive some specific results about regularization, Courant's method and Landweber–Strand iteration.
