This paper presents a hybrid spectral conjugate gradient method for large-scale unconstrained optimization, which possesses a self-adjusting property. Under the standard Wolfe conditions, its global convergence result is established. Preliminary numerical results are reported on a set of large-scale problems in CUTEr to show the convergence and efficiency of the proposed method.

The conjugate gradient method is one of the most popular methods to solve large-scale unconstrained optimization problems since it does not require the second derivative, such as Newton’s method or approximations. Moreover, the conjugate gradient method can be applied in many fields such as neural networks, image restoration, etc. Many complicated methods are proposed to solve these optimization functions in two or three terms. In this paper, we propose a simple, easy, efficient, and robust conjugate gradient method. The new method is constructed based on the Liu and Storey method to overcome the convergence problem and descent property. The new modified method satisfies the convergence properties and the sufficient descent condition under some assumptions. The numerical results show that the new method outperforms famous CG methods such as CG-Descent5.3, Liu and Storey, and Dai and Liao. The numerical results include the number of iterations and CPU time.

In this paper, an efficient modification of nonlinear conjugate gradient method and an associated implementation, based on an exact line search, are proposed and analyzed to solve large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. The method satisfies the sufficient descent property. Furthermore, global convergence result is proved. Computational results for a set of unconstrained optimization test problems, some of them from CUTE library, showed that this new conjugate gradient algorithm seems to converge more stable and outperforms the other similar methods in many situations.

<span>The conjugate gradient method has played a special role in   solving large-scale unconstrained Optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a new family of CG coefficients that   possess    sufficient descent conditions and global convergence properties this CG method is similar to (Wei et al) [7].  Global convergence   result is established under Strong Wolf-Powell line search. Numerical results to find  the  optimum solution of some test  functions show the   new proposed formula has the best result in CPU time and the number of iterations, and the number of gradient evaluations when it comparing with FR, PRP, DY, and WYL </span>

A new spectral conjugate gradient method (SDYCG) is presented for solving unconstrained optimization problems in this paper. Our method provides a new expression of spectral parameter. This formula ensures that the sufficient descent condition holds. The search direction in the SDYCG can be viewed as a combination of the spectral gradient and the Dai-Yuan conjugate gradient. The global convergence of the SDYCG is also obtained. Numerical results show that the SDYCG may be capable of solving large-scale nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems.
