A modified conjugacy condition and related nonlinear conjugate gradient method (Q1718989)

Summary: The conjugate gradient (CG) method has played a special role in solving large-scale nonlinear optimization problems due to the simplicity of their very low memory requirements. In this paper, we propose a new conjugacy condition which is similar to [\textit{Y. H. Dai} and \textit{L. Z. Liao}, Appl. Math. Optim. 43, No. 1, 87--101 (2001; Zbl 0973.65050)]. Based on this condition, the related nonlinear conjugate gradient method is given. With some mild conditions, the given method is globally convergent under the strong Wolfe-Powell line search for general functions. The numerical experiments show that the proposed method is very robust and efficient.
