The superlinear convergence analysis of a nonmonotone BFGS algorithm on convex objective functions (Q928232)

The principal aim of this article is to establish the superlinear convergence of the nonmonotone Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm proposed by \textit{J. Han} and \textit{G. Liu} [Comput. Optim. Appl. 7, No. 3, 277--289 (1997; Zbl 0876.90072)] for the numerical solution of unconstrained convex optimization problems, under appropriate assumptions.
