Nonlinear conjugate gradient method is one of the useful methods for unconstrained optimization problems. In this paper, we consider three kinds of nonlinear conjugate gradient methods with Wolfe type line search for unstrained optimization problems. Under some mild assumptions, the global convergence results of the given methods are proposed. The numerical results show that the nonlinear conjugate gradient methods with Wolfe type line search are efficient for some unconstrained optimization problems.

In solving large scale problems, the quasi-Newton method is known as the most efficient method in solving unconstrained optimization problems. Hence, a new hybrid method, known as the BFGS-CG method, has been created based on these properties, combining the search direction between conjugate gradient methods and quasi-Newton methods. In comparison to standard BFGS methods and conjugate gradient methods, the BFGS-CG method shows significant improvement in the total number of iterations and CPU time required to solve large scale unconstrained optimization problems. We also prove that the hybrid method is globally convergent.

<p>The conjugate gradient methods are noted to be exceedingly valuable for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems since it needn't the storage of matrices. Mostly the parameter conjugate is the focus for conjugate gradient methods. The current paper proposes new methods of parameter of conjugate gradient type to solve problems of large-scale unconstrained optimization. A Hessian approximation in a diagonal matrix form on the basis of second and third-order Taylor series expansion was employed in this study. The sufficient descent property for the proposed algorithm are proved. The new method was converged globally. This new algorithm is found to be competitive to the algorithm of fletcher-reeves (FR) in a number of numerical experiments.</p>

Abstract In this paper, based on the efficient Conjugate Descent (CD) method, two generalized CD algorithms are proposed to solve the unconstrained optimization problems. These methods are three-term conjugate gradient methods which the generated directions by using the conjugate gradient parameters and independent of the line search satisfy in the sufficient descent condition. Furthermore, under the strong Wolfe line search, the global convergence of the proposed methods are proved. Also, the preliminary numerical results on the CUTEst collection are presented to show effectiveness of our methods.

Conjugate gradient (CG) methods are widely used in solving nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems such as designs, economics, physics and engineering due to its low computational memory requirement. In this paper, a new modifications of CG coefficient ( ) which possessed global convergence properties is proposed by using exact line search. Based on the number of iterations and central processing unit (CPU) time, the numerical results show that the new  performs better than some other well known CG methods under some standard test functions.
