Q In this paper, we define a QLY total order =(Q) over D-m to compare the magnitude of dual vectors. Then we consider the QLY least-squares problem and give its compact formula. Meanwhile, by comparing with a least-squares and the least-squares minimal-norm solutions, we can investigate a QLY least-squares and the QLY least-squares minimal-norm of linear dual least-squares problems. In particular, in the presence of a least-squares solution, we can get a QLY least-squares solution to be more accurate than a least-squares solution under the QLY total order.
