Symmetric linear least-squares solution ${\bf X} {\bf A} = {\bf B}$

Given the wide matrices ${\bf A} \in {\Bbb R}^{n \times m}$ and ${\bf B} \in {\Bbb R}^{p \times m} $, where $m > n > p$, form an overdetermined linear system in ${\bf X} \in {\Bbb R}^{p \times n}...

How to optimize for the best fit nonuniform-scale-rotation to a given 3×3 matrix?

Given a matrix $L\in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3}$, I'm looking for a method to find the closest (in a least squares sense) product of a non-uniform scaling matrix and a rotation matrix: $$ \min_{s\in\...

Rank-constrained least-squares solution of the Sylvester matrix equation

For the Sylvester matrix equation $AX+XB=C$, I want to find the least-squares solution $X$ via $$\begin{array}{ll} \text{minimize} & \| AX + XB - C \|_{\text{F}}^2\\ \text{subject to} & \mbox{...

Reconstruct matrix given all differences of neighbors

We have an unknown $m\times n$ matrix $X=(x_{ij})_{i=1,j=1}^{m,n}$. Assume we are given measurements of the differences $$x_{i,j+1}-x_{i,j}$$ and $$x_{i+1,j}-x_{i,j}$$ for all $(i,j)\in \{1,\...

How to force least squares solution matrix to be diagonal? [closed]

I have the following matrix equation $$AX=B$$ given $8 \times 3$ matrices $A$ and $B$. $X$ is a $3 \times 3$ diagonal matrix whose main diagonal contains the $3$ unknowns. Whenever I solve for $X$ ...

Least-squares solution of systems of Sylvester equations

The Sylvester equation $AX+XB=C$ has been studied quite a lot and there are known algorithms for solving it. But has the situation where (an over-determined) system of equations $A_{i}X+XB_{i}=C_{i}$ ...

How do I optimize over (or take derivative wrt) a square diagonal matrix?

I would like to solve the following optimization problem in $k$-vector $w_i$ $$ \min_{w_i} \quad \left\|P_i - X \mbox{diag} (w_i) Y^T \right\|_F^2 $$ where $P_i$ is a $6 \times 6$ matrix, $X$ and $Y$ ...
