Two-step inexact Newton-type method for inverse singular value problems (Q2189400)

The authors propose a two-step inexact Newton-type procedure for solving a special kind of inverse singular value problems, originally proposed by \textit{M. T. Chu} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 29, No. 3, 885--903 (1992; Zbl 0757.65041)]. It is shown that, with some additional conditions, the procedure (see Algorithm 1) has a higher rate of convergence. More precisely, the proposed scheme has a super-quadratically convergence. Some numerical results to illustrate the efficiency of the new method are reported in Section 4. All the tests are carried out in MATLAB 7.10. The reader can find some possible directions for future work in this direction.
