A new adaptive trust region algorithm for optimization problems

It is well known that trust region methods are very effective for optimization problems. In this article, a new adaptive trust region method is presented for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method combines a modified secant equation with the BFGS updated formula and an adaptive trust region radius, where the new trust region radius makes use of not only the function information but also the gradient information. Under suitable conditions, global convergence is proved, and we demonstrate the local superlinear convergence of the proposed method. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method is very efficient.     

A new modified nonmonotone adaptive trust region method for unconstrained optimization

In this paper, we present an adaptive trust region method for solving unconstrained optimization problems which combines nonmonotone technique with a new update rule for the trust region radius. At each iteration, our method can adjust the trust region radius of related subproblem. We construct a new ratio to adjust the next trust region radius which is different from the ratio in the traditional trust region methods. The global and superlinear convergence results of the method are established under reasonable assumptions. Numerical results show that the new method is efficient for unconstrained optimization problems.     

An effective adaptive trust region algorithm for nonsmooth minimization

In this paper, an adaptive trust region algorithm that uses Moreau–Yosida regularization is proposed for solving nonsmooth unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed algorithm combines a modified secant equation with the BFGS update formula and an adaptive trust region radius, and the new trust region radius utilizes not only the function information but also the gradient information. The global convergence and the local superlinear convergence of the proposed algorithm are proven under suitable conditions. Finally, the preliminary results from comparing the proposed algorithm with some existing algorithms using numerical experiments reveal that the proposed algorithm is quite promising for solving nonsmooth unconstrained optimization problems.     

Nonmonotone adaptive trust region method

In this paper, we propose a nonmonotone adaptive trust region method for unconstrained optimization problems. This method can produce an adaptive trust region radius automatically at each iteration and allow the functional value of iterates to increase within finite iterations and finally decrease after such finite iterations. This nonmonotone approach and adaptive trust region radius can reduce the number of solving trust region subproblems when reaching the same precision. The global convergence and convergence rate of this method are analyzed under some mild conditions. Numerical results show that the proposed method is effective in practical computation.     

The convergence of subspace trust region methods

The trust region method is an effective approach for solving optimization problems due to its robustness and strong convergence. However, the subproblem in the trust region method is difficult or time-consuming to solve in practical computation, especially in large-scale problems. In this paper we consider a new class of trust region methods, specifically subspace trust region methods. The subproblem in these methods has an adequate initial trust region radius and can be solved in a simple subspace. It is easier to solve than the original subproblem because the dimension of the subproblem in the subspace is reduced substantially. We investigate the global convergence and convergence rate of these methods.

Nonmonotone adaptive trust region method based on simple conic model for unconstrained optimization

We propose a nonmonotone adaptive trust region method based on simple conic model for unconstrained optimization. Unlike traditional trust region methods, the subproblem in our method is a simple conic model, where the Hessian of the objective function is approximated by a scalar matrix. The trust region radius is adjusted with a new self-adaptive adjustment strategy which makes use of the information of the previous iteration and current iteration. The new method needs less memory and computational efforts. The global convergence and Q-superlinear convergence of the algorithm are established under the mild conditions. Numerical results on a series of standard test problems are reported to show that the new method is effective and attractive for large scale unconstrained optimization problems.

In this paper, we combine the nonmonotone and adaptive techniques with trust region method for unconstrained minimization problems. We set a new ratio of the actual descent and predicted descent. Then, instead of the monotone sequence, the nonmonotone sequence of function values are employed.

By means of the Bunch-Parlett factorization, we construct a method with indefinite dogleg path for solving the trust region subproblem which can handle the indefinite approximate Hessian Bk. The convergence properties of the algorithm are established. Finally, detailed numerical results are reported to show that our algorithm is efficient.

In this work, a feasible direction method is proposed for computing the regularized solution of image restoration problems by simply using an estimate of the noise present on the data. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem with one quadratic constraint. The proposed method computes a feasible search direction by inexactly solving a trust region subproblem with the truncated Conjugate Gradient method of Steihaug. The trust region radius is adjusted to maintain feasibility and a line-search globalization strategy is employed. The global convergence of the method is proved. The results of image denoising and deblurring are presented in order to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.     

A self-adaptive trust region method with line search based on a simple subproblem model

In this paper, based on a simple model of the trust region subproblem, we propose a new self-adaptive trust region method with a line search technique for solving unconstrained optimization problems. By use of the simple subproblem model, the new method needs less memory capacitance and computational complexity. And the trust region radius is adjusted with a new self-adaptive adjustment strategy which makes full use of the information at the current point. When the trial step results in an increase in the objective function, the method does not resolve the subproblem, but it performs a line search technique from the failed point. Convergence properties of the method are proved under certain conditions. Numerical experiments show that the new method is effective and attractive for large-scale optimization problems.

Concise complexity analyses are presented for simple trust region algorithms for solving unconstrained optimization problems. In contrast to a traditional trust region algorithm, the algorithms considered in this paper require certain control over the choice of trust region radius after any successful iteration. The analyses highlight the essential algorithm components required to obtain certain complexity bounds. In addition, a new update strategy for the trust region radius is proposed that offers a second-order complexity bound.
