Sinc mor thn cntury go, stronomrs hv bn working on dvloping mthmticl mthods for orbit dtrmintion of binry strs. Th first solution to th problm of clculting th lliptic orbit of visul binry systm givn sufficint dt ws suggstd by Thil-Inns -Vn dn Bos (883, 96 nd 93). This is followd by Cid (958 nd 960) who dvlopd dirct mthod involving thr complt obsrvtionl dt nd n incomplt obsrvtion nmly 3 obsrvtions. Docobo (985) nd Docobo t l.

Pourbix (994), nd Pourbix nd Lmpns (997) dvlopd mthod bsd on function tht quntifis th distnc btwn obsrvd nd computd position. Th simultd nnling mthod ws succssfully usd to minimiz it; in this wy th bst orbit is tht on which minimizs th doptd function. Shrf t l.

Th lgorithm uss n optiml point (, ), which minimizs spcific function nd dscribs th vrg lngth btwn th lst squr solution nd th xct on. Brnhm (005) invstigtd th problm of clculting th pprnt orbit of visul binris. H prsntd solution bsd on dvlopd mthmticl tchniqu for optimiztion known s smi-dfinit progrmming (SDP). This solution offrs th dvntgs of bing nlyticl nd clculting uniqu llips tht stisfis th obsrvtions. Rcntly, Kowlsky's mthod ws usd s prliminry computtion of orbitl lmnts of visul binris by Priur t l. (00). Olvi c nd Cvtkovi c (004) usd n improvd vrsion of Kowlsky's mthod for clculting th orbits of 0 intrfromtric binry systms. Th bsic mthmticl tool of Kowlsky;s mthod is th lst squrs mthod. Although th lst-squrs mthod is th most powrful tchniqus tht hs bn dvisd for th problms of strosttistics in gnrl (Andron nd Hurn, 03), it is t th sm tim xcdingly criticl.
