A new self-adaptive rule of trust region radius is introduced, which is given by a piecewise function on the ratio between the actual and predicted reductions of the objective function. A self-adaptive trust region method for unconstrained optimization problems is presented. The convergence properties of the method are established under reasonable assumptions. Preliminary numerical results show that the new method is significant and robust for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

In this paper, a new nonmonotone adaptive trust region algorithm is proposed for unconstrained optimization by combining a multidimensional filter and the Goldstein-type line search technique. A modified trust region ratio is presented which results in more reasonable consistency between the accurate model and the approximate model. When a trial step is rejected, we use a multidimensional filter to increase the likelihood that the trial step is accepted. If the trial step is still not successful with the filter, a nonmonotone Goldstein-type line search is used in the direction of the rejected trial step. The approximation of the Hessian matrix is updated by the modified Quasi-Newton formula (CBFGS). Under appropriate conditions, the proposed algorithm is globally convergent and superlinearly convergent. The new algorithm shows better performance in terms of the Dolan–Moré performance profile. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

A new trust region method is presented, which combines nonmonotone line search technique, a self-adaptive update rule for the trust region radius, and the weighting technique for the ratio between the actual reduction and the predicted reduction. Under reasonable assumptions, the global convergence of the method is established for unconstrained nonconvex optimization. Numerical results show that the new method is efficient and robust for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

The derivative free trust region algorithm was considered for solving the unconstrained optimization problems. This paper introduces a novel methodology that modified the center of the trust region in order to improve the search region. The main idea is parameterizing the center of the trust region based on the ideas of multi-directional search and simplex search algorithms. The scope of the new region was so expanded by introducing a parameter as to we can find a better descent directions. Experimental results reveal that the new method is more effective than the classic trust region method on the testing problems.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to employ stochastic techniques to increase efficiency of the classical algorithms for solving nonlinear optimization problems.Design/methodology/approachThe well-known simulated annealing strategy is employed to search successive neighborhoods of the classical trust region (TR) algorithm.FindingsAn adaptive formula for computing the TR radius is suggested based on an eigenvalue analysis conducted on the memoryless Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno updating formula. Also, a (heuristic) randomized adaptive TR algorithm is developed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. Results of computational experiments on a set of CUTEr test problems show that the proposed randomization scheme can enhance efficiency of the TR methods.Practical implicationsThe algorithm can be effectively used for solving the optimization problems which appear in engineering, economics, management, industry and other areas.Originality/valueThe proposed randomization scheme improves computational costs of the classical TR algorithm. Especially, the suggested algorithm avoids resolving the TR subproblems for many times.
