test_lls, a Fortran77 code which implements linear least squares (LLS) test problems which seek a vector x which minimizes the error in the MxN linear system A*x=b.
Some linear least squares problems include constraints on the data, such as requiring that every entry of X be positive. This library only contains unconstrained problems. For such problems, the task is typically to find a vector X which minimizes the Euclidean norm of the residual r=Ax-b, or, in cases where multiple minimizers exist, to find the minimizer of minimal Euclidean norm.
The code requires access to a compiled copy of the R8LIB library.
