Abstract
The Barzilai and Borwein gradient method for the solution of large scale unconstrained minimization problems is considered. This method requires few storage locations and very inexpensive computations. Furthermore, it does not guarantee descent in the objective function and no line search is required. Recently, the global convergence for the convex quadratic case has been established. However, for the nonquadratic case, the method needs to be incorporated in a globalization scheme. In this work, a nonmonotone line search strategy that guarantees global convergence is combined with the Barzilai and Borwein method. This strategy is based on the nonmonotone line search technique proposed by Grippo, Lampariello, and Lucidi [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 23 (1986), pp. 707--716]. Numerical results to compare the behavior of this method with recent implementations of the conjugate gradient method are presented. These results indicate that the global Barzilai and Borwein method may allow some significant reduction in the number of line searches and also in the number of gradient evaluations.
