There are many more things available than just 'nls'. An overview is available at "www.r-project.org" -> CRAN (select your favorite mirror) -> "Task Views" (on the left, third line under CRAN) -> "Optimization Optimization and Mathematical Programming".

For a possibly more direct route, you can try the following:

library(RSiteSearch)
GN <- RSiteSearch.function("Gauss-Newton")
HTML(GN)


This identified for me 19 different help pages in 11 different packages containing the term "Gauss-Newton".

GN. <- RSiteSearch.function("Gauss Newton")
GN2 <- GN|GN.
HTML(GN2)


This identified 27 help pages in 15 different packages containing both "Gauss" and "Newton".

NR <- RSiteSearch.function("Newton Raphson")
NR. <- GN2|NR
HTML(NR.)


This identified 138 help pages in 61 different packages, sorting them first by the package with the most matches.

Hope this helps. Spencer Graves

minimization problems, but it looks not working well. Is there any
Gauss-newton library/function in R?


Try

??leastsquares

and
?nls
