The convergence properties of some new conjugate gradient methods (Q865594)

A new conjugate gradient formula \(\beta^*_k\) is given to compute the search directions for unconstrained optimization problems. General convergence results for the proposed formula with exact Wolfe-Powell line search and Grippo-Lucidi line search. Under these line searches and some assumptions, the global convergence properties of the given methods are discussed. The given formula \(\beta^*_k\geq 0\) has the similar form as \(\beta^{PRP}_k\). Some numerical results show that the proposed methods are efficient.
