import numpy as np from scipy.linalg import solve __all__ = ['nnls'] def nnls(A, b, maxiter=None, *, atol=None): """ Solve ``argmin_x || Ax - b ||_2`` for ``x>=0``. This problem, often called as NonNegative Least Squares, is a convex optimization problem with convex constraints. It typically arises when the ``x`` models quantities for which only nonnegative values are attainable; weight of ingredients, component costs and so on. Parameters ---------- A : (m, n) ndarray Coefficient array b : (m,) ndarray, float Right-hand side vector. maxiter: int, optional Maximum number of iterations, optional. Default value is ``3 * n``. atol: float Tolerance value used in the algorithm to assess closeness to zero in the projected residual ``(A.T @ (A x - b)`` entries. Increasing this value relaxes the solution constraints. A typical relaxation value can be selected as ``max(m, n) * np.linalg.norm(a, 1) * np.spacing(1.)``. This value is not set as default since the norm operation becomes expensive for large problems hence can be used only when necessary. Returns ------- x : ndarray Solution vector. rnorm : float The 2-norm of the residual, ``|| Ax-b ||_2``. See Also -------- lsq_linear : Linear least squares with bounds on the variables Notes ----- The code is based on [2]_ which is an improved version of the classical algorithm of [1]_. It utilizes an active set method and solves the KKT (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker) conditions for the non-negative least squares problem. References ---------- ..
