Abstract
A backward error analysis of the direct elimination method for linear equality constrained least squares problems is presented. It is proved that the solution computed by the method is the exact solution of a perturbed problem and bounds for data perturbations are given. The numerical stability of the method is related to the way in which the constraints are used to eliminate variables and these theoretical conclusions are confirmed by a numerical example.
