Thamera K. Alkhashab . Modified Conjugate Gradient Method for Unconstrained Optimization. International Journal of Computer Applications. 86, 15 ( January 2014), 42-46. DOI=10.5120/15065-3509
Conjugate gradient method holds an important role in solving unconstrained Optimizations , especially for large scale problems. Numerous studies and modific ations have been done to improve this method . In this paper , we propose a new conjugate gradient meth od which is computed by modifying Dai and Yuan formula . This new formula for the denominator is introduced and the numerator of Dai and Yuan for mula is retrained , but still possesses global converge nce properties. Numerical results based on number of iterations and number of function evaluations by usin g exact line search have shown that the new formul a is an efficient when we comparative it with the oth er conjugate gradient methods.
