AbstractThe conjugate gradient method can be applied in many fields, such as neural networks, image restoration, machine learning, deep learning, and many others. Polak–Ribiere–Polyak and Hestenses–Stiefel conjugate gradient methods are considered as the most efficient methods to solve nonlinear optimization problems. However, both methods cannot satisfy the descent property or global convergence property for general nonlinear functions. In this paper, we present two new modifications of the PRP method with restart conditions. The proposed conjugate gradient methods satisfy the global convergence property and descent property for general nonlinear functions. The numerical results show that the new modifications are more efficient than recent CG methods in terms of number of iterations, number of function evaluations, number of gradient evaluations, and CPU time.

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.
