On Poljak's improved subgradient method (Q1090617)

\textit{B. T. Polyak} [USSR Comput. Math. Math. Phys. 9 (1969), No.3, 14-29 (1971; Zbl 0229.65056)] has suggested an improved subgradient method and provided a lower bound on the improvement of the Euclidean distance to an optimal solution. In this paper, we provide a stronger lower bound and show that the direction of movement in this method forms a more acute angle with the direction toward the set of optimal solutions than that in the subgradient method.
