We search for the best fit in Frobenius norm of $A \in {\mathbb C}^{m \times n}$ by a matrix product $B C^*$, where $B \in {\mathbb C}^{m \times r}$ and $C \in {\mathbb C}^{n \times r}$, $r \le m$ so $B = \{b_{ij}\}$, ($i=1, \dots, m$,~…
Given a matrix $A$, a matrix nearness problem seeks an $X$ that most closely approximates $A$ in the sense of minimizing $\lVert A - X\rVert$ under a variety of constraints on $X$. A generalized matrix nearness problem seeks the same but…
