The filter-diagonalization method of Wall and Neuhauser for harmonic inversion of a complex time signal, C(t)=kd{sub k}e{sup -it{omega}{sub k}}, is simplified by introducing a different boxlike filter and is reformulated to the case of a signal given on a sparse equidistant time grid. The method is applied to the large scale quantum dynamics problem of extracting hundreds of (narrow and overlapping) resonances of the H{sup +}{sub 3} molecular ion directly from a single signal, c{sub n}={bold (}{Phi}{sub 0},T{sub n}({cflx H}){Phi}{sub 0}{bold )}, generated by the dynamical system governed by a modified Chebyshev recursion. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
