We show how Tikhonov's regularization method, which in its original formulation involves a least squares problem, can be recast in a total least squares formulation suited for problems in which both the coefficient matrix and the right-hand side are known only approximately. We analyze the regularizing properties of this method and demonstrate by a numerical example that, in certain cases with large perturbations, the new method is superior to standard regularization methods. %B SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications %V 21 %P 185 - 194 %8 1999/// %G eng %U http://link.aip.org/link/?SML/21/185/1 %N 1 %R 10.1137/S0895479897326432
