We consider the problem of efficiently solving large-scale linear least squares problems that have one or more linear constraints that must be satisfied exactly. Whilst some classical approaches are theoretically well founded, they can face difficulties when the matrix of constraints contains dense rows or if an algorithmic transformation used in the solution process results in a modified problem that is much denser than the original one. To address this, we propose modifications and new ideas, with an emphasis on requiring the constraints are satisfied with a small residual. We examine combining the null-space method with our recently developed algorithm for computing a null space basis matrix for a ``wide matrix. We further show that a direct elimination approach enhanced by careful pivoting can be effective in transforming the problem to an unconstrained sparse-dense least squares problem that can be solved with existing direct or iterative methods. We also present a number of solution variants that employ an augmented system formulation, which can be attractive when solving a sequence of related problems. Numerical experiments using problems coming from practical applications are used throughout to demonstrate the effectiveness of the different approaches.

With a greedy strategy to construct control index set of coordinates firstly and then choosing the corresponding column submatrix in each iteration, we present a greedy block Gauss-Seidel (GBGS) method for solving large linear least squares problem. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the convergence factor of the GBGS method can be much smaller than that of the greedy randomized coordinate descent (GRCD) method proposed recently in the literature. On the basis of the GBGS method, we further present a pseudoinverse-free greedy block Gauss-Seidel method, which doesnt need to calculate the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of the column submatrix in each iteration any more and hence can be achieved greater acceleration. Moreover, this method can also be used for distributed implementations. Numerical experiments show that, for the same accuracy, our methods can far outperform the GRCD method in terms of the iteration number and computing time.
We present a novel greedy Gauss-Seidel method for solving large linear least squares problem. This method improves the greedy randomized coordinate descent (GRCD) method proposed recently by Bai and Wu [Bai ZZ, and Wu WT. On greedy randomized coordinate descent methods for solving large linear least-squares problems. Numer Linear Algebra Appl. 2019;26(4):1--15], which in turn improves the popular randomized Gauss-Seidel method. Convergence analysis of the new method is provided. Numerical experiments show that, for the same accuracy, our method outperforms the GRCD method in term of the computing time.
This paper is devoted to condition numbers of the total least squares problem with linear equality constraint (TLSE). With novel limit techniques, closed formulae for normwise, mixed and componentwise condition numbers of the TLSE problem are derived. Compact expressions and upper bounds for these condition numbers are also given to avoid the costly Kronecker product-based operations. The results unify the ones for the TLS problem. For TLSE problems with equilibratory input data, numerical experiments illustrate that normwise condition number-based estimate is sharp to evaluate the forward error of the solution, while for sparse and badly scaled matrices, mixed and componentwise condition numbers-based estimations are much tighter.
This paper is devoted to condition numbers of the multidimensional total least squares problem with linear equality constraint (TLSE). Based on the perturbation theory of invariant subspace, the TLSE problem is proved to be equivalent to a multidimensional unconstrained weighed total least squares problem in the limit sense. With a limit technique, Kronecker-product-based formulae for normwise, mixed and componentwise condition numbers of the minimum Frobenius norm TLSE solution are given. Compact upper bounds of these condition numbers are provided to reduce the storage and computation cost. All expressions and upper bounds of these condition numbers unify the ones for the single-dimensional TLSE problem and multidimensional total least squares problem. Some numerical experiments are performed to illustrate our results.
Measurement data in linear systems arising from real-world applications often suffers from both large, sparse corruptions, and widespread small-scale noise. This can render many popular solvers ineffective, as the least squares solution is far from the desired solution, and the underlying consistent system becomes harder to identify and solve. QuantileRK is a member of the Kaczmarz family of iterative projective methods that has been shown to converge exponentially for systems with arbitrarily large sparse corruptions. In this paper, we extend the analysis to the case where there are not only corruptions present, but also noise that may affect every data point, and prove that QuantileRK converges with the same rate up to an error threshold. We give both theoretical and experimental results demonstrating QuantileRKs strength.
