The author defines as the ``symmetric Procrustes'' (SP) problem a constrained least squares approximation problem with the additional requirement of symmetry on the unknown matrix. The main contributions of the author are the use of the singular value decomposition to solve and analyse the SP problem, and the examination of the stability of methods for numerical solution.
