A new spectral three-term conjugate gradient algorithm in virtue of the Quasi-Newton equation is developed for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. It is proved that the search directions in this algorithm always satisfy a sufficiently descent condition independent of any line search. Global convergence is established for general objective functions if the strong Wolfe line search is used. Numerical experiments are employed to show its high numerical performance in solving large-scale optimization problems. Particularly, the developed algorithm is implemented to solve the 100 benchmark test problems from CUTE with different sizes from 1000 to 10,000, in comparison with some similar ones in the literature. The numerical results demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art ones in terms of less CPU time, less number of iteration or less number of function evaluation.

The nonlinear conjugate gradient (CG) method is a widely used approach for solving large-scale optimization problems in many fields, such as physics, engineering, economics, and design. The efficiency of this method is mainly attributable to its global convergence properties and low memory requirement. In this paper, a new conjugate gradient coefficient is proposed based on the Aini-Rivaie-Mustafa (ARM) method. Furthermore, the proposed method is proved globally convergent under exact line search. This is supported by the results of the numerical tests. The numerical performance of the new CG method better than other related and more efficient compared with previous CG methods.

Many researchers are intended to improve the conjugate gradient (CG) methods as well as their applications in real life. Besides, CG become more interesting and useful in many disciplines and has important role for solving large-scale optimization problems. In this paper, three types of new CG coefficients are presented with application in estimating data. Numerical experiments show that the proposed methods have succeeded in solving problems under strong Wolfe Powell line search conditions.

Abstract We consider Broyden class updates for large scale optimization problems in n dimensions, restricting attention to the case when the initial second derivative approximation is the identity matrix. Under this assumption we present an implementation of the Broyden class based on a coordinate transformation on each iteration. It requires only $$2nk + O(k^{2}) + O(n)$$ 2 n k + O ( k 2 ) + O ( n ) multiplications on the kth iteration and stores $$nK+ O(K^2) + O(n)$$ n K + O ( K 2 ) + O ( n ) numbers, where K is the total number of iterations. We investigate a modification of this algorithm by a scaling approach and show a substantial improvement in performance over the BFGS method. We also study several adaptations of the new implementation to the limited memory situation, presenting algorithms that work with a fixed amount of storage independent of the number of iterations. We show that one such algorithm retains the property of quadratic termination. The practical performance of the new methods is compared with the performance of Nocedal’s (Math Comput 35:773--782, 1980) method, which is considered the benchmark in limited memory algorithms. The tests show that the new algorithms can be significantly more efficient than Nocedal’s method. Finally, we show how a scaling technique can significantly improve both Nocedal’s method and the new generalized conjugate gradient algorithm.

The conjugate gradient (CG) method is a well-known solver for large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. In this paper, a modified CG method based on AMR* and CD method is presented. The resulting algorithm for the new CG method is proved to be globally convergent under exact line search both under some mild conditions. Comparisons of numerical performance are made involving the new method and four other CG methods. The results show that the proposed method is more efficient.

Many researchers are interested for developed and improved the conjugate gradient method for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems. In this work a new parameter  will be presented as a convex combination between RMIL and MMWU. The suggestion method always produces a descent search direction at each iteration. Under Strong Wolfe Powell (SWP) line search conditions, the global convergence of the proposed method is established. The preliminary numerical comparisons with some others CG methods have shown that this new method is efficient and robust in solving all given problems.
