Iterative methods to compute weighted normal pseudosolutions with positive definite weights

Abstract

We construct iterative processes to compute the weighted normal pseudosolution with positive definite weights (weighted least squares solutions with weighted minimum Euclidean norm) for systems of linear algebraic equations (SLAE) with an arbitrary rectangular real matrix. We examine two iterative processes based on the expansion of the weighted pseudoinversc matrix into matrix power series. The iterative processes are applied to solve constrained least squares problems that arise in mathematical programming and to findL-pseudosolutions.
