MATLAB: Input function of convolution

convolutioninput functioninverseMATLAB

I have doubt about convolution. Is it possible to find the Input function that convolved, from the result of convolution? As an example y=conv(x,x). Is there a method to uniquely determine 'x', If only 'y' is known?

If you know that x has a real, positive Fourier spectrum X(f), then you can solve for x using frequency domain methods,
