A sequence of least‐squares problems of the form min y ∥ G 1/2 ( A T y − h )∥ 2 , where G is an n × n positive‐definite diagonal weight matrix, and A an m × n ( m ⩽ n ) sparse matrix with some dense columns; has many applications in linear programming, electrical networks, elliptic boundary value problems, and structural analysis. We suggest low‐rank correction preconditioners for such problems, and a mixed solver (a combination of a direct solver and an iterative solver). The numerical results show that our technique for selecting the low‐rank correction matrix is very effective. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
