A modified PRP nonlinear conjugate gradient method to solve unconstrained optimization problems is proposed. The important property of the proposed method is that the sufficient descent property is guaranteed independent of any line search. By the use of the Wolfe line search, the global convergence of the proposed method is established for nonconvex minimization. Numerical results show that the proposed method is effective and promising by comparing with the VPRP, CG-DESCENT, and DL+methods.

Sufficient Descent

In this paper, a modification to the Polak–Ribiére–Polyak (PRP) nonlinear conjugate gradient method is presented. The proposed method always generates a sufficient descent direction independent of the accuracy of the line search and the convexity of the objective function. Under appropriate conditions, the modified method is proved to possess global convergence under the Wolfe or Armijo-type line search. Moreover, the proposed methodology is adopted in the Hestenes–Stiefel (HS) and Liu–Storey (LS) methods. Extensive preliminary numerical experiments are used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Spectral Conjugate Gradient

A mixed spectral CD-DY conjugate descent method for solving unconstrained optimization problems is proposed, which combines the advantages of the spectral conjugate gradient method, the CD method, and the DY method. Under the Wolfe line search, the proposed method can generate a descent direction in each iteration, and the global convergence property can be also guaranteed. Numerical results show that the new method is efficient and stationary compared to the CD (Fletcher 1987) method, the DY (Dai and Yuan 1999) method, and the SFR (Du and Chen 2008) method; so it can be widely used in scientific computation.

This article presents a modified quadratic hybridization of the Polak–Ribiere–Polyak and Fletcher–Reeves conjugate gradient method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. Global convergence, with the strong Wolfe line search conditions, of the proposed quadratic hybrid conjugate gradient method is established. We also report some numerical results to show the competitiveness of the new hybrid method.

Nonlinear conjugate gradient (CG) methods are widely used for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems. Many studies have been devoted to develop and improve these methods. In this paper, we aim to study the global convergence of the BBB conjugate gradient method with exact line search.
