Parallel variable distribution for total least squares

A novel parallel method for determining an approximate total least squares (TLS) solution is introduced. Based on domain decomposition, the global TLS problem is partitioned into several dependent TLS subproblems. A convergent algorithm using the parallel variable distribution technique (SIAM J. Optim. 1994; 4 :815–832) is presented. Numerical results support the development and analysis of the algorithms. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
