Nearest Inverse Kronecker Product

The nearest inverse Kronecker product problem is: Given the m-by-mX mY matrix A, and the m-by-nX nY matrix B, find the mX-by-nX matrix X and the mY-by-nY matrix Y which minimize
|| B - A ( X kron Y ) ||2
Assume without loss of generality that || X ||F = 1.

If A is square and B is the identity, then the problem becomes finding the Kronecker product closest to the inverse of A.

We have developed several algorithms to solve this problem. They are explained in [1]. The Matlab code is:
