Quasi-Newton methods accelerate the steepest-descent technique for function minimization by using computational history to generate a sequence of approximations to the inverse of the Hessian matrix. This paper presents a class of approximating matrices as a function of a scalar parameter. The problem of optimal conditioning of these matrices under an appropriate norm as a function of the scalar parameter is investigated. A set of computational results verifies the superiority of the new methods arising from conditioning considerations to known methods.read more

Sign projected gradient flow: A continuous-time approach to convex optimization with linear equality constraints
TL;DR: A sign projected gradient method employing only “coarse” information is given rise to, which has finite-time convergence capability and preserves the simplicity and elegance of gradient descent, and some key features of the method are investigated.

Atomistic Simulations of CdS Morphologies
TL;DR: In this paper, a static lattice model is used to calculate the equilibrium and growth morphologies of CdS polymorphs, and the surface and attachment energies are optimized to calculate their structural and energy properties.

DFT-Computed Trends in the Properties of Bimetallic Precious Metal Nanoparticles with Core@Shell Segregation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of geometry and compositional arrangements on the properties of bimetallic core@shell precious metal NPs was investigated and for surface coverages of just one monolayer, the electronic properties of the NPs, such as the Fermi energy and d-band center, were strongly correlated with the element that occupies sites on the NP surface, in qualitative but not quantitative agreement with previous two-dimensional slab calculations.

A Rapidly Convergent Descent Method for Minimization
Roger Fletcher,M. J. D. Powell +1 more
TL;DR: A number of theorems are proved to show that it always converges and that it converges rapidly, and this method has been used to solve a system of one hundred non-linear simultaneous equations.

A Class of Methods for Solving Nonlinear Simultaneous Equations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss certain modifications to Newton's method designed to reduce the number of function evaluations required during the iterative solution process of an iterative problem solving problem, such that the most efficient process will be that which requires the smallest number of functions evaluations.

A Comparison of Several Current Optimization Methods, and the use of Transformations in Constrained Problems
TL;DR: Transitions whereby inequality constraints of certain forms can be eliminated from the formulation of an optimization problem are described, and examples of their use compared with other methods for handling such constraints are described.
