Linear Least Squares Problems (LLSP)

- OpenOpt LLSP example
- FuncDesigner LLSP example
Notes:
- damp factor
and value 
are handled by OpenOpt as "damp" and upper-case "X" variables
- If damp is provided (by user) but vector X is not, then X is filled by zeros.
LLSP solvers connected to OpenOpt:
| Solver | License | Optional data that can be handled | Sparsity handling | Made by | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 (coming)lsqr | GPL | (damp)
| Yes (use scipy.sparse or FuncDesigner AD) | Michael P. Friedlander (University of British Columbia), Dominique Orban (Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal) | Parameters: atol (1e-9), btol(1e-9), conlim ('autoselect', 1e8 for LLSP and 1e12 for SLE). Since the solver is very small (about 300 lines of code) for to simplify its installation it is spread with OpenOpt, so you should remove it if you can't use GPL soft. I have asked its developers about its license and some other issues, but seems like their emails are deprecated. |

| bvls | BSD | lb, ub | No | Robert L. Parker rlparker(at)ucsd.edu, Philip B. Stark stark(at)stat.berkeley.edu | Installation: download bvls.f (this one is a little bit modified for f2py using), type in terminal "f2py -c -m bvls bvls.f" (it requires already installed: 1) numpy; 2) fortran compiler;) and put bvls.so into a directory from PYTHONPATH (for example, /usr/bin/python2.5/site-packages). |
