we present a structured algorithm for solving constrained nonlinear least squares problems, and establish its local two-step q-superlinear convergence. the approach is based on an adaptive structured scheme due to mahdavi-amiri and bartels of the exact penalty method of coleman and conn for nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. the structured adaptation also makes use of the ideas of n...

We develop and analyze a first-order system least-squares spectral method for the second-order elliptic boundary value problem with variable coefficients. We first analyze the Chebyshev weighted norm least-squares functional defined by the sum of the Lwand H−1 w norm of the residual equations and then we replace the negative norm by the discrete negative norm and analyze the discrete Chebyshev ...

In this paper, we introduce a simple method for the Cauchy problem. This new finite element method is based on least squares methodology with discontinuous approximations which can be implemented and analyzed easily. This discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is flexible to work with general unstructured meshes. Error estimates of the finite element solution are derived. The numerical ex...

This paper deals with the experiments of type . Fitting a response surface model to this type of experiments was studied using a new technique. This technique depends on partitioning the whole experiment into two experiments and analyzes each experiment separately. In addition to the proposed technique, the least squares method was studied and a comparison is made between the proposed technique...

The matrix-form LSQR method is presented in this paper for solving the least squares problem of the matrix equation AXB = C with tridiagonal matrix constraint. Based on a matrix-form bidiagonalization procedure, the least squares problem associated with the tridiagonal constrained matrix equation AXB = C reduces to a unconstrained least squares problem of linear system, which can be solved by u...

We study the convergence of the Regularized Alternating Least-Squares algorithm for tensor decompositions. As a main result, we have shown that given the existence of critical points of the Alternating Least-Squares method, the limit points of the converging subsequences of the RALS are the critical points of the least squares cost functional. Some numerical examples indicate a faster convergen...

This paper aims to analysis the behavior of DC corona discharge in wire-to-plate electrostatic precipitators (ESP). Currentvoltage curves are particularly analyzed. Experimental results show that discharge current is strongly affected by the applied voltage. The proposed method of current identification is to use the method of least squares. Least squares problems that of into two categories: l...
