New Scaled Sufficient Descent Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Solving Unconstraint Optimization Problems

Abbas Y. AL-Bayati and Rafiq S. Muhammad

Abstract

Problem statement: The scaled hybrid Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm which usually used for solving non-linear functions was presented and was compared with two standard well-Known NAG routines, yielding a new fast comparable algorithm. Approach: We proposed, a new hybrid technique based on the combination of two well-known scaled (CG) formulas for the quadratic model in unconstrained optimization using exact line searches. A global convergence result for the new technique was proved, when the Wolfe line search conditions were used. Results: Computational results, for a set consisting of 1915 combinations of (unconstrained optimization test problems/dimensions) were implemented in this research making a comparison between the new proposed algorithm and the other two similar algorithms in this field. Conclusion: Our numerical results showed that this new scaled hybrid CG-algorithm substantially outperforms Andrei-sufficient descent condition (CGSD) algorithm and the well-known Andrei standard sufficient descent condition from (ACGA) algorithm.
