How to use Nonlinear Least Squares Problem without Constraints

Hi together,

I'm quite new with using the MKL and also not a big mathematic freak. At the moment I try to solve a Function from the type:

ai + bi * x1 = ci * x2 / (di + x3)

x1, x2, x3 are unknown, I have initial estimations for x2 and x3.

Now the questions:
1.) Can I even use the MKL for that, espacially the strnlsp* functiopns?
2.) in the init function how can I match these function to the transfer parameters and what the... is the length of an function m ?

I found some examples, but those are not really good documented - so I really need your help.

Addition: You can not offend me my critizies my knowledge at mathematic.... ;-)

Thanks for your best effort.

We test the program on an second PC - with the same bad result. This PC has an Intel Pentium Dual T3200 CPU. So it seems to depend to other things..

need more details like these:
- OS
- MKL version
- is it 32 or 64 bit?
- the linking line

Which Libs do you include? Could it be, that we have to search the reason in the Makefile?

This is my Makefile:

- Ubuntu 10.10
- MKL 10.3.2.137
- 32 Bit
- what you are asking for with linking line? - All the LIBS? If yes see the provided makefile..

smth like that:
-Wl,--start-group $MKLroot/libmkl_intel.a $MKLroot/libmkl_intel_thread.a $MKLroot/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -openmp -lpthread

I ran your code from #18 on Win7-X64 using Intel C 11.1.065 (64 bit) and the bundled MKL, compiling with the command

S:\MKL> icl /Qmkl nlfit.cpp

The program ran to completion with no error messages on a laptop with 4GB of RAM and a dual core Intel T4300.

It would help if you compiled with the -g option and ran the code under GDB, if only to determine whether the illegal instruction is generated from your code or is in the C++ runtime or the MKL library code.

Thank you very very much.....

The reason was the wrong usage of the embedded Librarries!! Thank you for this information. Everythings work now like it should....
