摘要

This paper studies sparse nonlinear least squares problems, where the Jacobian matrices are unavailable or expensive to compute, yet have some underlying sparse structures. We construct the Jacobian models by the \( \ell _1 \) 1 minimization subject to a small number of interpolation constraints with interpolation points generated from some certain distributions, and propose a derivative-free Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm based on such Jacobian models. It is proved that the Jacobian models are probabilistically first-order accurate and the algorithm converges globally almost surely. Numerical experiments indicate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm for sparse nonlinear least squares problems.
