A geometric property of the least squares solution of linear equations (Q916747): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the overdetermined system of linear equations \(Ax=b\), where A is an \(m\times n\) real matrix for some \(m>n\), and presents a new representation of the solution of the least squares problem: \[ \min \{(Ax-b)^ T(Ax-b)=\| Ax-b\|^ 2_ 2;\quad x\in R^ n\}. \]
