Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problem Using Hybrid CG Method with Exact Line Search
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract: The conjugate gradient (CG) method is a one of the common approaches for solving unconstrained optimization problems, notably known for its suitability for large scale problems. Many recent studies show that this method is also useful for problems of smaller scale. One of the methods used for improving the performance of CG method is hybrid approach, where a CG method is combined with another method. In this study, the ARM CG method is combined with the SMR CG method and tested under exact line search. The resulting hybrid algorithm is globally convergent under exact line search and shown to perform well numerically in comparison to other tested CG methods.
