The structured total least squares (TLS) problem has
been introduced by [4,5] for solving overdetermined linear systems
in which both the coefficient matrix
A, A Î Rm ×n,m >> n, and the right-hand side b Î Rm, are
structured and corrupted by noise.
The problem can be formulated as the following
constrained optimization problem
|
|
|
|
min
DA, Db, x
|
||[DA | Db]||F |
| |
|
| |
|
and [DA | Db] has thesame structure as [A | b], |
|
| |
|
This natural extension of the TLS problem is a lot more
difficult to solve than the TLS problem, because of its highly
nonlinear nature and the existence of many local minima. We focus
here on the frequently occurring cases where either [A | b]
is a Toeplitz matrix or A a Toeplitz matrix and b
unstructured.
The structured TLS problem is solved in an iterative
fashion, in which, at each iteration, a Least Squares problem
involving a rectangular Toeplitz-block matrix needs to be solved.
The latter kernel problem is solved in O(mn) flops, via a fast
and stable QR decomposition based on the displacement rank
representation of the involved Toeplitz-block matrices. The
efficiency, which is higher than that of other existing
algorithms, results from the low displacement rank and the
exploitation of the sparsity of the generators.
We extend this fast algorithm for ill-posed problems by
adding regularization and apply the resulting algorithm on a
medical application in renography [2], to illustrate the
increased computational efficiency and accuracy.
