A new nonlinear spectral conjugate descent method for solving unconstrained optimization problems is proposed on the basis of the CD method and the spectral conjugate gradient method. For any line search, the new method satisfies the sufficient descent conditiongkTdk<−∥gk∥2. Moreover, we prove that the new method is globally convergent under the strong Wolfe line search. The numerical results show that the new method is more effective for the given test problems from the CUTE test problem library (Bongartz et al., 1995) in contrast to the famous CD method, FR method, and PRP method.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we present a new conjugate gradient method using an acceleration scheme for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization. The generated search direction satisfies both the sufficient descent condition and the Dai–Liao conjugacy condition independent of line search. Moreover, the value of the parameter contains more useful information without adding more computational cost and storage requirements, which can improve the numerical performance. Under proper assumptions, the global convergence result of the proposed method with a Wolfe line search is established. Numerical experiments show that the given method is competitive for unconstrained optimization problems, with a maximum dimension of 100,000.

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.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid coefficient of conjugate gradient method (CG) for solving unconstrained optimization model.  The new coefficient is combination of part the MMSIS (Malik et.al, 2020) and PRP (Polak, Ribi'ere \& Polyak, 1969) coefficients.  Under exact line search, the search direction of new method satisfies the sufficient descent condition and based on certain assumption, we establish the global convergence properties.  Using some test functions, numerical results show that the proposed method is more efficient than MMSIS method.  Besides, the new method can be used to solve problem in minimizing portfolio selection risk .

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.

Large Scale Unconstrained Optimization

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.
