Abstract

In this paper a new conjugate gradient method for unconstrained optimization is introudced, which is sufficient descent and globally convergent and which can also be used with the Dai-Yuan method to form a hybrid algorithm. Our methods do not require the strong convexity condition on the objective function. Numerical evidence shows that this new conjugate gradient algorithm may be considered as one of the competitive conjugate gradient methods.
