An Evaluation of Mathematical Software that Solves Nonlinear Least Squares Problems

In this paper the "state of the art" of mathematical software that solves nonlinear least squares problems is evaluated. The evaluatmn is based on a comparison of 12 readily available FORTRAN codes. Theoretical and software aspects of the codes, as well as their performance on a carefully designed set of test problems, are used in the comparison.
