In this paper, a finite filter is used in the structure of the Barzilai–Browein (BB) gradient method in order to propose a new modified BB algorithm for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Our algorithm is equipped with a relaxed nonmonotone line search technique which allows the algorithm to enjoy the nonmonotonicity properties from scratch. Under some suitable conditions, the global convergence property of the new proposed algorithm is established. Numerical results on some test problems in CUTEr library show the efficiency and effectiveness of the new algorithm in practice too. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper first proposes a trust region algorithm to obtain a stationary point of unconstrained multiobjective optimisation problem. Under suitable assumptions, the global convergence of the new algorithm is established. We then extend the trust region method to solve the non-smooth multiobjective optimisation problem.

Abstract: This paper presents an affine scaling optimal path approach in association with nonmonotonic interior backtracking line search technique for nonlinear optimization subject to linear constraints. We shall employ the eigensystem decomposition and affine scaling mapping to form affine scaling optimal curvilinear path very easily. By using interior backtracking line search technique, each iterate switches to trial step of strict interior feasibility. The nonmonotone criterion is used to speed up the convergence progress in the contours of objective function with large curvature. Theoretical analysis is given which prove that the proposed algorithm is globally convergent and has a local superlinear convergence rate under some reasonable conditions. The results of numerical experiments are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

This paper presents a new trust-region algorithm for n-dimension nonlinear optimization subject to m nonlinear inequality constraints. Equivalent KKT conditions are derived, which is the basis for constructing the new algorithm. Global convergence of the algorithm to a first-order KKT point is established under mild conditions on the trial steps, local quadratic convergence theorem is proved for nondegenerate minimizer point. Numerical experiment is presented to show the effectiveness of our approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
