Abstract:

The Polak-Ribière-Polak algorithm is considered one of the most efficient methods among classical conjugate gradient methods (CGMs). To generate new conjugate parameter, an improved PRP formula is proposed by combining the strong Wolfe line search condition. Furthermore, a new spectral parameter and a new restart direction are designed, and thus a new spectral conjugate gradient method with restart steps is established. Using the strong Wolfe line search condition to yield the step length, the sufficient descent property and global convergence of the new algorithm are obtained under the general assumptions. Finally, for the proposed algorithm, a medium-large scale numerical experiments is performed, and compared with some existing efficient CGMs, the numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is very promising.
