Abstract
We discuss the solution of large-scale box-constrained linear least-squares problems by two recent affine-scaling methods: a cyclic Barzilai-Borwein strategy and an Inexact Newton-like method where a preconditioning technique allows for an efficient computation of the steps. A robust globally and fast locally convergent method based on the combination of the two procedures is presented along with extensive numerical results.

Key words: Nonnegative Least Squares, Interior Point Methods,
Regularization, Preconditioned Indefinite System.
