<abstract> <p>The conjugate gradient (CG) method is a method to solve unconstrained optimization problems. Moreover CG method can be applied in medical science, industry, neural network, and many others. In this paper a new three term CG method is proposed. The new CG formula is constructed based on DL and WYL CG formulas to be non-negative and inherits the properties of HS formula. The new modification satisfies the convergence properties and the sufficient descent property. The numerical results show that the new modification is more efficient than DL, WYL, and CG-Descent formulas. We use more than 200 functions from CUTEst library to compare the results between these methods in term of number of iterations, function evaluations, gradient evaluations, and CPU time.</p> </abstract>

To find a solution of unconstrained optimization problems, we normally use a conjugate gradient (CG) method since it does not cost memory or storage of second derivative like Newton’s method or Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) method. Recently, a new modification of Polak and Ribiere method was proposed with new restart condition to give a so-call AZPRP method. In this paper, we propose a new modification of AZPRP CG method to solve large-scale unconstrained optimization problems based on a modification of restart condition. The new parameter satisfies the descent property and the global convergence analysis with the strong Wolfe-Powell line search. The numerical results prove that the new CG method is strongly aggressive compared with CG_Descent method. The comparisons are made under a set of more than 140 standard functions from the CUTEst library. The comparison includes number of iterations and CPU time.

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.

The Conjugate Gradient (CG) methods play an important role in solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Several studies have been recently devoted to improving and modifying these methods in relation to efficiency and robustness. In this paper, a new parameter of CG method has been proposed. The new parameter possesses global convergence properties under the Strong Wolfe-Powell (SWP) line search. The numerical results show that the proposed formula is more efficient and robust compared with Polak-Rribiere Ployak (PRP), Fletcher-Reeves (FR) and Wei, Yao, and Liu (WYL) parameters.

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.

We develop a sufficient descent method for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. At each iteration, the search direction is a linear combination of the gradient at the current and the previous steps. An attractive property of this method is that the generated directions are always descent. Under some appropriate conditions, we show that the proposed method converges globally. Numerical experiments on some unconstrained minimization problems from CUTEr library are reported, which illustrate that the proposed method is promising.

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.
