Regularization and Preconditioning of KKT Systems Arising in Nonnegative Least-Squares Problems

A regularized Newton-like method for solving nonnegative least-squares problems is proposed and analysed in this paper. A preconditioner for KKT systems arising in the method is introduced and spectral properties of the preconditioned matrix are analysed. A bound on the condition number of the preconditioned matrix is provided. The bound does not depend on the … Read more

An interior Newton-like method for nonnegative least-squares problems with degenerate solution

An interior point approach for medium and large nonnegative linear least-squares problems is proposed. Global and locally quadratic convergence is shown even if a degenerate solution is approached. Viable approaches for implementation are discussed and numerical results are provided. Citation Technical Report 1/2005, Dipartimento di Energetica ‘S.

Subspace trust-region methods for large bound-constrained nonlinear equations

Trust-region methods for solving large bound-constrained nonlinear systems are considered. They allow for spherical or elliptical trust-regions where the search of an approximate solution is restricted to a low dimensional space. A general formulation for these methods is introduced and global and superlinear/quadratic convergence is shown under standard assumptions. Viable approaches for implementation in conjunction … Read more
