We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
We obtain estimates of the multiplicative constants appearing in local convergence results of the Riemannian Gauss–Newton method for least squares problems on manifolds and relate them to the geometric condition number of [P. Buergisser and F. Cucker, Condition: The Geometry of Numerical Algorithms, 2013].
