Abstract

We consider a truncated Gauss-Newton method for solving nonlinear least squares problems (NLSP) for the underdetermined case. Under some mild conditions, the method converges to a solution at rate of ν when the involved parameter ν in the truncated method satisfies ν ∈ (1,2], and superlinearly when ν = 1 and θk → 0. It should be remarked that our techniques for convergence analysis are quite different from that used in [Appl. Numer. Math., Ill, 92-110 (2017)].
