The equality constrained indefinite least squares problem involves the minimization of an indefinite quadratic form subject to a linear equality constraint. In this paper, we study this problem and present a numerical method that is proved to be backward stable in a strict sense, i.e., that the computed solution satisfies a slightly perturbed equality constrained indefinite least squares problem. We also perform a sensitivity analysis of this problem and derive bounds for the accuracy of the computed solution. We give several numerical experiments to illustrate these results.

Abstract
The equality constrained indefinite least squares problem involves the minimization of an indefinite quadratic form subject to a linear equality constraint. In this paper, we study this problem and present a numerical method that is proved to be backward stable in a strict sense, i.e., that the computed solution satisfies a slightly perturbed equality constrained indefinite least squares problem. We also perform a sensitivity analysis of this problem and derive bounds for the accuracy of the computed solution. We give several numerical experiments to illustrate these results.File in questo prodotto:
