Hybrid nonmonotone spectral gradient method for the unconstrained minimization problem (Q2403122)

The authors present a hybrid nonmonotone spectral gradient method. They employ an extrapolation step to find a better point by using particle swarm optimization after finding an acceptable point by nonmonotone spectral gradient method. Assuming some specifications, global convergence of the proposed method is proved. This article is well written, structured and explained, it contains four sections: Section 1 on Introduction, Section 2 on Hybrid nonmonotone gradient method, Section 3 on Computational results, and Section 4 on Conclusion.
