The symmetric procrustes problem

The following “symmetric Procrustes” problem arises in the determination of the strain matrix of an elastic structure: find the symmetric matrixX which minimises the Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm ofAX — B, whereA andB are given rectangular matrices. We use the singular value decomposition to analyse the problem and to derive a stable method for its solution. A perturbation result is derived and used to assess the stability of methods based on solving normal equations. Some comparisons with the standard, unconstrained least squares problem are given.
