In this paper, we will review some recent results on numerical methods for these two special problems, particularly on Levenberg-Marquardt type methods, quasi-Newton type methods, and trust region algorithms. Discussions on variable projection methods and subspace methods are also given. Some theoretical results about local convergence results of the Levenberg-Marquardt type methods without non-singularity assumption are presented. A few model algorithms based on line searches and trust regions are also given.
