It is well known that the nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm is one of the effective algorithms for optimization problems since it has low storage and simple structure properties. This motivates us to make a further study to design a modified conjugate gradient formula for the optimization model, and this proposed conjugate gradient algorithm possesses several properties: (1) the search direction possesses not only the gradient value but also the function value; (2) the presented direction has both the sufficient descent property and the trust region feature; (3) the proposed algorithm has the global convergence for nonconvex functions; (4) the experiment is done for the image restoration problems and compression sensing to prove the performance of the new algorithm.

Abstract To solve large-scale unconstrained optimization problems, a modified PRP conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed and is found to be interesting because it combines the steepest descent algorithm with the conjugate gradient method and successfully fully utilizes their excellent properties. For smooth functions, the objective algorithm sufficiently utilizes information about the gradient function and the previous direction to determine the next search direction. For nonsmooth functions, a Moreau–Yosida regularization is introduced into the proposed algorithm, which simplifies the process in addressing complex problems. The proposed algorithm has the following characteristics: (i) a sufficient descent feature as well as a trust region trait; (ii) the ability to achieve global convergence; (iii) numerical results for large-scale smooth/nonsmooth functions prove that the proposed algorithm is outstanding compared to other similar optimization methods; (iv) image restoration problems are done to turn out that the given algorithm is successful.

Conjugate gradient methods are well-known methods which are widely applied in many practical fields. CD conjugate gradient method is one of the classical types. In this paper, a modified three-term type CD conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed. Some good features are presented as follows: (i) A modified three-term type CD conjugate gradient formula is presented. (ii) The given algorithm possesses sufficient descent property and trust region property. (iii) The algorithm has global convergence with the modified weak Wolfe–Powell (MWWP) line search technique and projection technique for general function. The new algorithm has made great progress in numerical experiments. It shows that the modified three-term type CD conjugate gradient method is more competitive than the classical CD conjugate gradient method.

Combining the three-term conjugate gradient method of Yuan and Zhang and the acceleration step length of Andrei with the hyperplane projection method of Solodov and Svaiter, we propose an accelerated conjugate gradient algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations in this paper. The presented algorithm has the following properties: (i) All search directions generated by the algorithm satisfy the sufficient descent and trust region properties independent of the line search technique. (ii) A derivative-free search technique is proposed along the direction to obtain the step length αk. (iii) If ϕk=−αkhk−hwkTdk>0, then an acceleration scheme is used to modify the step length in a multiplicative manner and create a point. (iv) If the point satisfies the given condition, then it is the next point; otherwise, the hyperplane projection technique is used to obtain the next point. (v) The global convergence of the proposed algorithm is established under some suitable conditions. Numerical comparisons with other conjugate gradient algorithms show that the accelerated computing scheme is more competitive. In addition, the presented algorithm can also be applied to image restoration.
