Descripción
Sumario:The problem of polynomial least squares fitting in the standard Lagrange basis is addressed in this work. Although the matrices involved in the corresponding overdetermined linear systems are not totally positive, rectangular totally positive Lagrange-Vandermonde matrices are used to take advantage of total positivity in the construction of accurate algorithms to solve the considered problem. In particular, a fast and accurate algorithm to compute the bidiagonal decomposition of such rectangular totally positive matrices is crucial to solve the problem. This algorithm also allows the accurate computation of the Moore-Penrose inverse and the projection matrix of the collocation matrices involved in these problems. Numerical experiments showing the good behaviour of the proposed algorithms are included.
