Spectral properties of Barzilai-Borwein rules in solving singly linearly constrained optimization problems subject to lower and upper bounds

In 1988, Barzilai and Borwein published a pioneering paper which opened the way to inexpensively accelerate first-order methods. More in detail, in the framework of unconstrained optimization, Barzilai and Borwein developed two strategies to select the steplength in gradient descent methods with the aim of encoding some second-order information of the problem without computing and/or … Read more
