Recently, Zhang et al. proposed a sufficient descent Polak-Ribière-Polyak (SDPRP) conjugate gradient method for large-scale unconstrained optimization problems and proved its global convergence in the sense thatlim infk→∞∥∇f(xk)∥=0when an Armijo-type line search is used. In this paper, motivated by the line searches proposed by Shi et al. and Zhang et al., we propose two new Armijo-type line searches and show that the SDPRP method has strong convergence in the sense thatlimk→∞∥∇f(xk)∥=0under the two new line searches. Numerical results are reported to show the efficiency of the SDPRP with the new Armijo-type line searches in practical computation.

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.

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.

Based on the Scaled conjugate gradient (SCALCG) method presented by Andrei (2007) and the projection method presented by Solodov and Svaiter, we propose a SCALCG method for solving monotone nonlinear equations with convex constraints. SCALCG method can be regarded as a combination of conjugate gradient method and Newton-type method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. So, it has the advantages of the both methods. It is suitable for solving large-scale problems. So, it can be applied to solving large-scale monotone nonlinear equations with convex constraints. Under reasonable conditions, we prove its global convergence. We also do some numerical experiments show that the proposed method is efficient and promising.

The conjugate gradient method is one of the most useful and the earliest-discovered techniques for solving large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. Many variants of this method have been proposed, and some are widely used in practice. In this article, we study the descent Dai–Yuan conjugate gradient method which guarantees the sufficient descent condition for any line search. With exact line search, the introduced conjugate gradient method reduces to the Dai–Yuan conjugate gradient method. Finally, a global convergence result is established when the line search fulfils the Goldstein conditions.

In this paper, by linearly combining the numerator and denominator terms of the Dai-Liao (DL) and Bamigbola-Ali-Nwaeze (BAN) conjugate gradient methods (CGMs), a general form of DL-BAN method has been proposed. From this general form, a new hybrid CGM, which was found to possess a sufficient descent property is generated. Numerical experiment was carried out on the new CGM in comparison with four existing CGMs, using some set of large scale unconstrained optimization problems. The result showed a superior performance of new method over majority of the existing methods.

In this study, we propose a new parameter in the conjugate gradient method. It is shown that the new method fulfils the sufficient descent condition with the strong Wolfe condition when inexact line search has been used. The numerical results of this suggested method also shown that this method outperforms to other standard conjugate gradient method.
