An initial feasibility stage for Stoer's constrained least squares algorithm

A procedure is described for computing an initial feasible vector, x sub 0, for Stoer's algorithm for solving the linear least squares problem subject to linear equality and inequality constraints. The procedure described fits well with Stoer's algorithm since much of the computation performed to determine x sub 0 accomplishes initializing transformations of the problem data, which would otherwise be done in Stoer's algorithm after being given an x sub 0.

A proposal for standard linear algebra subprograms

A set of FORTRAN callable subprograms are proposed which will be useful in the development of efficient portable ANSI FORTRAN subprograms and applications programs in the area of linear algebra.

Sparse matrix methods based on orthogonality and conjugacy

A matrix having a high percentage of zero elements is called spares. In the solution of systems of linear equations or linear least squares problems involving large sparse matrices, significant saving of computer cost can be achieved by taking advantage of the sparsity. The conjugate gradient algorithm and a set of related algorithms are described.
