New class of limited-memory variationally-derived variable metric methods

A new family of limited-memory variationally-derived variable metric or quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained minimization is given. The methods have quadratic termination property and use updates, invariant under linear transformations. Some encouraging numerical experience is reported. Citation Technical Report V-973.

New Variable Metric Methods for Unconstrained Minimization Covering the Large-Scale Case

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.
