public class NonlinLeastSquaresEx1 extends Object

Solves a nonlinear least squares problem using a finite difference Jacobian.

A nonlinear least squares problem is solved using a finite difference Jacobian. The problem is to minimize the vector-function, $$ f(x_1,x_2) = \begin{bmatrix}10.0(x_2-x_1^2)\\ 1.0-x_1 \end{bmatrix} $$

The analytic Jacobian is $$ J(x_1,x_2) = \begin{bmatrix}-20.0x_1 & 10.0\\ -1.0 & 0.0 \end{bmatrix}. $$
