An extended Dai-Liao conjugate gradient method with global convergence for nonconvex functions
Using an extension of some previously proposed modified secant equations in the Dai-Liao approach, a modified nonlinear conjugate gradient method is proposed. As interesting features, the method employs the objective function values in addition to the gradient information and satisfies the sufficient descent property with proper choices for its parameter. Global convergence of the method is established without convexity assumption on the objective function. Results of numerical comparisons are reported. They demonstrate efficiency of the proposed method in the sense of the Dolan-Moré performance profile
Some Unconstrained Optimization Methods
Although it is a very old theme, unconstrained optimization is an area which is always actual for many scientists. Today, the results of unconstrained optimization are applied in different branches of science, as well as generally in practice. Here, we present the line search techniques. Further, in this chapter we consider some unconstrained optimization methods. We try to present these methods but also to present some contemporary results in this area
Effective Modified Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Method for Large-Scale Symmetric Nonlinear Equations
In this paper, we proposed hybrid conjugate gradient method using the convex combination of FR and PRP conjugate gradient methods for solving Large-scale symmetric nonlinear equations via Andrei approach with nonmonotone line search. Logical formula for obtaining the convex parameter using Newton and our proposed directions was also proposed. Under appropriate conditions global convergence was established. Reported numerical results show that the proposed method is very promising
Unconstrained Optimization Methods: Conjugate Gradient Methods and Trust-Region Methods
Here, we consider two important classes of unconstrained optimization methods: conjugate gradient methods and trust region methods. These two classes of methods are very interesting; it seems that they are never out of date. First, we consider conjugate gradient methods. We also illustrate the practical behavior of some conjugate gradient methods. Then, we study trust region methods. Considering these two classes of methods, we analyze some recent results
Extension of Modified Polak-Ribière-Polyak Conjugate Gradient Method to Linear Equality Constraints Minimization Problems
Combining the Rosen gradient projection method with the two-term Polak-Ribière-Polyak (PRP) conjugate gradient method, we propose a two-term Polak-Ribière-Polyak (PRP) conjugate gradient projection method for solving linear equality constraints optimization problems. The proposed method possesses some attractive properties: (1) search direction generated by the proposed method is a feasible descent direction; consequently the generated iterates are feasible points; (2) the sequences of function are decreasing. Under some mild conditions, we show that it is globally convergent with Armijio-type line search. Preliminary numerical results show that the proposed method is promising
