contents We systematically investigated the limited inverse discrete Fourier transform of the quasi distributions from the perspective of inverse problem theory. This transformation satisfies two of Hadamard's well-posedness criteria, existence and uniqueness of solutions, but critically violates the stability requirement, exhibiting exponential sensitivity to input perturbations. To address this instability, we implemented Tikhonov regularization with L-curve optimized parameters, demonstrating its validity for controlled toy model studies and real lattice QCD results of quasi distribution amplitudes. The reconstructed solutions is consistent with the physics-driven $λ$-extrapolation method. Our analysis demonstrates that the inverse Fourier problem within the large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) framework belongs to a class of moderately tractable ill-posed problems, characterized by distinct spectral properties that differ from those of more severely unstable inverse problems encountered in other lattice QCD applications. Tikhonov regularization establishes a rigorous mathematical framework for addressing the underlying instability, enabling first-principles uncertainty quantification without relying on ansatz-based assumptions.
