void	f08zac (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer p, double a[], Integer pda, double b[], Integer pdb, double c[], double d[], double x[], NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f08zac, nag_lapackeig_dgglse or nag_dgglse.

3 Description

f08zac solves the real linear equality-constrained least squares (LSE) problem

\underset{x}{minimize} {‖ c - A x ‖}_{2} subject to B x = d

where

A

is an

m \times n

matrix,

B

is a

p \times n

matrix,

c

is an

m

element vector and

d

is a

p

element vector. It is assumed that

p \leq n \leq m + p

rank (B) = p

and

rank (E) = n

, where

E = (\begin{matrix} A \\ B \end{matrix})

. These conditions ensure that the LSE problem has a unique solution, which is obtained using a generalized

R Q

factorization of the matrices

B

and

A

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08zac is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08zac makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

When

m \geq n = p

, the total number of floating-point operations is approximately

\frac{2}{3} n^{2} (6 m + n)

; if

p ≪ n

, the number reduces to approximately

\frac{2}{3} n^{2} (3 m - n)

e04ncc may also be used to solve LSE problems. It differs from f08zac in that it uses an iterative (rather than direct) method, and that it allows general upper and lower bounds to be specified for the variables

x

and the linear constraints

B x

10 Example

This example solves the least squares problem

\underset{x}{minimize} {‖ c - A x ‖}_{2} subject to B x = d

where

c = (\begin{array}{r} - 1.50 \\ - 2.14 \\ 1.23 \\ - 0.54 \\ - 1.68 \\ 0.82 \end{array}),

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 0.57 & - 1.28 & - 0.39 & 0.25 \\ - 1.93 & 1.08 & - 0.31 & - 2.14 \\ 2.30 & 0.24 & 0.40 & - 0.35 \\ - 1.93 & 0.64 & - 0.66 & 0.08 \\ 0.15 & 0.30 & 0.15 & - 2.13 \\ - 0.02 & 1.03 & - 1.43 & 0.50 \end{array}),

B = (\begin{matrix} 1.0 & 0 & - 1.0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1.0 & 0 & - 1.0 \end{matrix})

and

d = (\begin{matrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix}) .

The constraints

B x = d

correspond to

x_{1} = x_{3}

and

x_{2} = x_{4}
