The equation that I have is A x + m z = b where m is a real scalar and all others have complex elements. A is a square matrix, b, x are column vectors. x is the vector to be solved for and the elements of z are related to those of x by zi=xi/magnitude(xi) where xi and zi are the i th elements of x and z respectively. In addition, A is a hermitian matrix. The dimensions of the above matrices are very small (could be as low as 2). What kind of methods can I use to solve this problem? I know this can be solved by least squares method. But are there any numerical routines which can give all the solutions? If yes, what are they and where do I get them? I am not very well-versed with numerical methods so any references in this regard would also be helpful. (Can this problem be solved analytically?) Thank you, Sarath. sarath@pender.ee.upenn.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P. Sarath Kumar 314, Moore School, 200 S.33rd St., Philadelphia, PA19104.
