NLSProblems - Nonlinear Least Squares problems

This package provides some optimization problems using the NLPModels.jl interface. It is similar to to OptimizationProblems.jl, except that it's specific for Nonlinear Least Squares, using the subtype of AbstractNLSModel.

This collection currently contains the problems of Moré, Garbow and Hillstrom [1].

We welcome contributions.

Install

NLSProblems can be installed and tested through the Julia package manager:

julia> ]
pkg> add NLSProblems
pkg> test NLSProblems
