Abstract

In this paper, a Gauss-Newton method is proposed for the solution of large-scale nonlinear least-squares problems, by introducing a truncation strategy in the method presented in [9]. First, sufficient conditions are established for ensuring the convergence of an iterative method employing a truncation scheme for computing the search direction, as approximate solution of a Gauss-Newton type equation. Then, a specific truncated Gauss-Newton algorithm is described, whose global convergence is ensured under standard assumptions, together with the superlinear convergence rate in the zero-residual case. The results of a computational experimentation on a set of standard test problems are reported.
