Two families of limited-memory variable metric or quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained minimization based on quasi-product form of update are derived. As for the first family, four variants how to utilize the Strang recurrences for the Broyden class of variable metric updates are investigated; three of them use the same number of stored vectors as the … Read more
The Broyden class of quasi-Newton updates for inverse Hessian approximation are transformed to the formal BFGS update, which makes possible to generalize the well-known Nocedal method based on the Strang recurrences to the scaled limited-memory Broyden family, using the same number of stored vectors as for the limited-memory BFGS method. Two variants are given, the … Read more
A new family of limited-memory variable metric or quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained minimization is given. The methods are based on a positive definite inverse Hessian approximation in the form of the sum of identity matrix and two low rank matrices, obtained by the standard scaled Broyden class update. To reduce the rank of matrices, various … Read more
