Global Convergence of a Cass of Quasi-Newton Methods on Convex Problems
Abstract
We study the global convergence properties of the restricted Broyden class of quasi-Newton methods, when applied to a convex objective function. We assume that the line search satisfies a standard sufficient decrease condition and that the initial Hessian approximation is any positive definite matrix. We show global and superlinear convergence for this class of methods, except for DFP. This generalizes Powell’s well-known result for the BFGS method. The analysis gives us insight into the properties of these algorithms; in particular it shows that DFP lacks a very desirable self-correcting property possessed by BFGS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
