I want to minimize this constraint least square to find a and b. Had
it be a linear system it would be probably easy to solve this
constraint problem.  But I have this function of non linear equations
to solve.
f=sum[x*x']*[a,b,b^2/(4*a)]' - sum[y*x] +lambda*[-b^2/(4*a^2), (1/2)*
(b/a),-1]'=0
Here x,y are vectors in R3  and sum is over i to n;
Can anyone help me solve this optimization.
