Least squares fitting with elliptic paraboloids

Abstract

In [4] we discussed the problem of fitting some rotated paraboloid to given measured data in 3-space. A numerical method was developed and numerical examples were given. Recently that method was used to fit some parabolic antenna filter [1]. In this connection the question arises whether this method could be extended for elliptic paraboloids needed for some medical application [2]. We show how this could be done and recommend a numerical method more difficult but similar to that one in [4].
