A framework of conjugate direction methods for symmetric linear systems in optimization (Q2342136): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with iterative Krylov-based methods for the solution of symmetric linear systems, arising in both numerical analysis and optimization contexts. The author addresses a parameter-dependent class of conjugate gradient (CG)-based methods, which can equivalently reduce to the CG for a suitable choice of the parameters. A general framework of iterative methods is presented, inspired by polarity for quadratic hypersurfaces, and based on the generation of conjugate directions. Some numerical results are included.
