A Study of Conjugate Gradient Methods.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA066391 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A number of new properties of algorithms of the Conjugate Gradient type are shown, paying particular attention to methods which utilize variable metric information in determining the conjugate gradient search directions. A comprehensive discussion of conjugate gradient methods is attempted, and each algorithm is presented within the context of other existing algorithms, and approach which provides fresh insights and some new algorithms.
