Global convergence properties of a new class of conjugate gradient method for unconstrained optimization

Abstract

Nonlinear conjugate gradient (CG) methods are widely used for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems. Many studies have been devoted to modified and improve this method. In this paper, a new parameter of CG method that possesses global convergence properties using exact line search is proposed. Numerical results show that the new formula is best and more efficient when compared with the other classical CG methods
