      The author considers the secant method for the general quasi-Newton iterative procedure in which the function to be optimized has a derivative which is symmetric and positive definite. In unconstrained optimization, the eigenvalues of the successive Hessian approximations become progressively smaller and eventually converge to zero. The standard approach to rectify the matter is to restart the algorithm using a fresh Hessian approximation, referred to as secant update. The paper displays several representation theorems for various classes of secant updates.
