Summary

In this paper, overdetermined systems ofm linear equations inn unknowns are considered. With m equipped with a smooth strictly convex norm, ‖·‖, an iterative algorithm for finding the best approximate solution of the linear system which minimizes the ‖·‖-error is given. The convergence of the algorithm is established and numerical results are presented for the case when ‖·‖ is anl p norm, 1<p<∞.
