Hello All, I’m trying to optimize a nonlinear least squares problem using PETSc. I’d like to use Levenberg-Marquardt, but, as it is not available, I am using Tao’s NTR with J^T J as the hessian. The NTR is converging very slowly (compared to an LM solver in Ceres — a nonlinear optimization package).
How can I debug this poor performance? Is there something I am missing for solving nonlinear least squares in PETSc? Thanks, Tristan Konolige
