Abstract

Recently, Zhang (2006) proposed a three-term modified HS (TTHS) method for unconstrained optimization problems. An attractive property of the TTHS method is that the direction generated by the method is always descent. This property is independent of the line search used. In order to obtain the global convergence of the TTHS method, Zhang proposed a truncated TTHS method. A drawback is that the numerical performance of the truncated TTHS method is not ideal. In this paper, we prove that the TTHS method with standard Armijo line search is globally convergent for uniformly convex problems. Moreover, we propose a new truncated TTHS method. Under suitable conditions, global convergence is obtained for the proposed method. Extensive numerical experiment show that the proposed method is very efficient for the test problems from the CUTE Library.
