This is a wrapper for a FORTAN non-negative least squares solver. Parameters ---------- A : ndarray Matrix ``A`` as shown above. b : ndarray Right-hand side vector. Returns ------- x : ndarray Solution vector. rnorm : float The residual, ``|| Ax-b ||_2``. Notes ----- The FORTRAN code was published in the book below. The algorithm is an active set method. It solves the KKT (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker) conditions for the non-negative least squares problem.
