Nonlinear Least Squares for Inverse Problems Theoretical Foundations and Step-by-Step Guide for Applications

This book provides an introduction into the least squares resolution of nonlinear inverse problems. The first goal is to develop a geometrical theory to analyze nonlinear least square (NLS) problems with respect to their quadratic wellposedness, i.e. both wellposedness and optimizability. Using the...
