AN EFFICIENT PRP-HRM HYBRID CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHOD FOR SOLVING UNCONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION
Keywords:
Exact line search, Hybrid Conjugate gradient, sufficient descent condition, Global convergenceAbstract
The hybrid conjugate gradient methods are combinations of different conjugate gradient (CG) algorithms to give better performance. This paper develops a new hybrid method of conjugate gradient type, satisfies the sufficient descent condition under the exact line search conditions and becomes globally convergent. Preliminary numerical experiments are tested on a set of unconstrained optimization test problems. The results of comparisons show the computational efficiency of the developed hybrid method by solving selected large-scale benchmark test functions against some known algorithms in the sense of Dolan–More performance profile.
