Solving an overdetermined constraint system
问题 I have n real number variables (don't know, don't really care), let's call them X[n] . I also have m >> n relationships between them let's call them R[m] , of the form: X[i] = alpha*X[j] , alpha is a nonzero positive real number, i and j are distinct but the (i, j) pair is not necessarily unique (i.e. there can be two relationships between the same variables with a different alpha factor) What I'm trying to do is find a set of alpha parameters that solve the overdetermined system in some
