A CLASSOF NONMONOTONE CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHODSFOR NONCONVEX FUNCTIONS

摘要

This paper discusses the global convergence of a class of nonmonotone conjugate gra- dient methods(NM methods) for nonconvex object functions.This class of methods includes the nonmonotone counterpart of modified Polak- Ribière method and modified Hestenes- Stiefel method as special
