چکیده
1. INTRODUCTION. This paper has its genesis in a problem the author first came upon while in college. Although the areas covered here are well travelled and nothing here is guaranteed original, it covers a pleasant nexus of many mathematical strands. Furthermore, we show the value of good notation and of reading an old master for solving a problem. Consider iterates of the function m (x) = 1 I 1/x. Starting at 1, we get the sequence

The modified BFGS method with new secant relation for unconstrained optimization problems
Using Taylor's series we propose a modified secant relation to get a more accurate approximation of the second curvature of the objective function. Then, based on this modified secant relation we present a new BFGS method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method make use of both gradient and function values while the usual secant relation uses only gradient values. U...
متن کاملTwo Settings of the Dai-Liao Parameter Based on Modified Secant Equations
Following the setting of the Dai-Liao (DL) parameter in conjugate gradient (CG) methods, we introduce two new parameters based on the modified secant equation proposed by Li et al. (Comput. Optim. Appl. 202:523-539, 2007) with two approaches, which use an extended new conjugacy condition. The first is based on a modified descent three-term search direction, as the descent Hest...

Historical Development of the BFGS Secant Method and Its Characterization Properties by Joanna Maria Papakonstantinou The BFGS secant method is the preferred secant method for finite-dimensional unconstrained optimization. The first part of this research consists of recounting the historical development of secant methods in general and the BFGS secant method in particular. Many people believe t...
متن کاملA family of improved secant-like method with super-linear convergence
A family of improved secant-like method is proposed in this paper. Further, the analysis of the convergence shows that this method has super-linear convergence. Efficiency are demonstrated by numerical experiments when the choice of α is correct. Keywords—Nonlinear equations, Secant method, Convergence order, Secant-like method.
متن کاملA meshless technique for nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations via hybrid of radial basis functions
In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. Zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...
