The pseudocode for minimizing the weighted residual
by conjugate-direction method,
is effectively like that for the unweighted method
except that the initial residual is weighted
and the operator
has the premultiplier
.Naturally, the adjoint operator
has the postmultiplier
.In some applications the weighting operator
is simply a weighting function or diagonal matrix
(so then
)and in other applications, the weighting operator
may be an operator,
like the derivative along a data recording trajectory
(so then
).
