TLDR
In this paper, a class of approximating matrices as a function of a scalar parameter is presented, where the problem of optimal conditioning of these matrices under an appropriate norm is investigated and a set of computational results verifies the superiority of the new methods arising from conditioning considerations to known methods.Abstract:
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
