A new family of numerically efficient variable metric or quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained minimization are given, which give simple possibility of adaptation for large-scale optimization. Global convergence of the methods can be established for convex sufficiently smooth functions. Some encouraging numerical experience is reported.
