Jukić, Dragan The problem of the initial approximation for a special nonlinear least squares problem. (English) Zbl 0882.65054 Math. Commun. 1, No. 1, 25-31 (1996). This paper is concerned with determination of a good starting point for the nonlinear least squares problem when the function to be fitted is the exponential function. A global minimizer is sought. A small numerical example is provided.
