Total least squares problems on infinite dimensional spaces

In this work we study weighted total least squares problems on infinite dimensional spaces. We show that in most cases this problem does not admit a solution (except in the trivial case) and then, we consider a regularization on the problem. We present necessary conditions for the regularized problem to have a solution. We also show that, by restricting the regularized minimization problem to special subsets, the existence of a solution may be assured.
