Many geodetic applications require the minimization of a convex objective function subject to some linear equality and/or inequality constraints. If a system is singular (e.g., a geodetic network without a defined datum) this results in a manifold of solutions. Most state-of-the-art algorithms for inequality constrained optimization (e.g., the Active-Set-Method or primal-dual Interior-Point-Methods) are either not able to deal with a rank-deficient objective function or yield only one of an infinite number of particular solutions.
