Which package/function for solving weighted linear least squares with inequality and equality constraints?

Dear All,

Which package/function could i use to solve following linear least square
problem?
A over determined system of linear equations is given. The nnls-function may
would be a possibility  BUT:
The solving is constrained with 
a inequality that all unknowns are >= 0 
and a equality that the sum of all unknowns is 1
The influence of the equations according to the solving process is weighted
too.

llAx-bll2 * weight
with xi >=0 and sum(x)=1

I?m pleased about every suggestion.

Thank you and best regards
Thomas

Just guessing.

Go to the Optimization task view on the Task Views page on  CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/

Have a look at package limSolve (Quadratic Programming). From the description I gather that it may do what you want.

Dear Berend,

Thank you very much for proposing the limSolve-package!
The lsei function of the package is exactly what I was looking for.

Best regards
Thomas
