Me neither ...

I got past the error by give 
minpack.lm::nlsLM X and Y in a data.frame

        minpack.lm::nlsLM(
          formula = y~(a*x^2)/(b^2 + x^2),
          start=c(a=A, b=B),
          data=data.frame(x=X, y=Y))

as per ?minpack.lm::nlsLM:

        data: an optional data frame in which to evaluate the variables
              in‘formula’ and ‘weights’.  Can also be a list or an
              environment, but not a matrix.

These other questions seem good and 
interesting, I hope someone else can answer 
them.

Best,
