The BFGS method is one of the most efficient quasi-Newton methods for solving small- and medium-size unconstrained optimization problems. For the sake of exploring its more interesting properties, a modified two-parameter scaled BFGS method is stated in this paper. The intention of the modified scaled BFGS method is to improve the eigenvalues structure of the BFGS update. In this method, the first two terms and the last term of the standard BFGS update formula are scaled with two different positive parameters, and the new value of yk is given. Meanwhile, Yuan-Wei-Lu line search is also proposed. Under the mentioned line search, the modified two-parameter scaled BFGS method is globally convergent for nonconvex functions. The extensive numerical experiments show that this form of the scaled BFGS method outperforms the standard BFGS method or some similar scaled methods.

In this paper, a new nonmonotone adaptive trust region algorithm is proposed for unconstrained optimization by combining a multidimensional filter and the Goldstein-type line search technique. A modified trust region ratio is presented which results in more reasonable consistency between the accurate model and the approximate model. When a trial step is rejected, we use a multidimensional filter to increase the likelihood that the trial step is accepted. If the trial step is still not successful with the filter, a nonmonotone Goldstein-type line search is used in the direction of the rejected trial step. The approximation of the Hessian matrix is updated by the modified Quasi-Newton formula (CBFGS). Under appropriate conditions, the proposed algorithm is globally convergent and superlinearly convergent. The new algorithm shows better performance in terms of the Dolan–Moré performance profile. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

In our paper, we introduce a sparse and symmetric matrix completion quasi-Newton model using automatic differentiation, for solving unconstrained optimization problems where the sparse structure of the Hessian is available. The proposed method is a kind of matrix completion quasi-Newton method and has some nice properties. Moreover, the presented method keeps the sparsity of the Hessian exactly and satisfies the quasi-Newton equation approximately. Under the usual assumptions, local and superlinear convergence are established. We tested the performance of the method, showing that the new method is effective and superior to matrix completion quasi-Newton updating with the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) method and the limited-memory BFGS method.

In this paper, a modified BFGS algorithm is proposed to solve unconstrained optimization problems. First, based on a modified secant condition, an update formula is recommended to approximate Hessian matrix. Then thanks to the remarkable nonmonotone line search properties, an appropriate nonmonotone idea is employed. Under some mild conditions, the global convergence properties of the algorithm are established without convexity assumption on the objective function. Preliminary numerical experiments are also reported which indicate the promising behavior of the new algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a simulated annealing-based Barzilai–Borwein (SABB) gradient method for unconstrained optimization problems. The SABB method accepts the Barzilai–Borwein (BB) step by a simulated annealing rule. If the BB step cannot be accepted, the Armijo line search is used. The global convergence of the SABB method is established under some mild conditions. Numerical experiments indicate that, compared to some existing BB methods using nonmonotone line search technique, the SABB method performs well with high efficiency.

This article presents a modified quadratic hybridization of the Polak–Ribiere–Polyak and Fletcher–Reeves conjugate gradient method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. Global convergence, with the strong Wolfe line search conditions, of the proposed quadratic hybrid conjugate gradient method is established. We also report some numerical results to show the competitiveness of the new hybrid method.
