A convergence ball with the center x0 is replaced by that with xl, the first approximation generated by the secant method with the initial data x-1 and x0. Under the bounded conditions of the divided difference, a convergence theorem is obtained and two examples to illustrate the weakness of convergence conditions are provided. Moreover, the secant method is applied to a system of nonlinear equations to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the results in the paper.展开更多

For every convergence theorem, a convergence ball is respectively introduced, where the hypothesis conditions of the corresponding theorem can be satisfied. Since all of these convergence balls have the same center x^＊, they can be viewed as a homocentric ball. Convergence theorems are sorted by the different sizes of various radii of this homocentric ball, and the sorted sequence represents the degree of weakness on the conditions of convergence theorems.展开更多

The Hessian of the Lagrangian is approximated using the DFP or the BFGS secant updates. The improved secant methods are used to generate a search direction. Combining with a suitable step size, each iterate switches to trial step of strict interior feasibility. When the Hessian is only positive definite in an affine null subspace, one shows that the algorithms generate the sequences converging q-linearly and two-step q-superlinearly. Yhrthermore, under some suitable assumptions, some sequences generated by the algorithms converge locally one-step q-superlinearly. Finally, some numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.展开更多

The method incorporates the modified BFGS secant equation in an effort to include the second order information of the objective function. The new secant equation has both gradient and function value information, and its update formula inherits the positive definiteness of Hessian approximation for general convex function. In order to improve the likelihood of finding a global optimal solution, we introduce a new modified nonmonotone line search technique. It is shown that, for nonsmooth convex problems, the proposed algorithm is globally convergent. Numerical results show that this new scaled conjugate gradient algorithm is promising and efficient for solving not only convex but also some large scale nonsmooth nonconvex problems in the sense of the Dolan-Moré performance profiles.展开更多

Analysis of the method shows a quadratic convergence under certain assumptions. For several years, researchers have improved the method by proposing modified Newton methods with salutary efforts.
