Global Convergence of a Modified Two-Parameter Scaled BFGS Method with Yuan-Wei-Lu Line Search for Unconstrained Optimization

Algorithm 1

A modified two parameter scaled BFGS algorithm—MTPSBFGS.
Step 1: given an initial point , an symmetric positive definite matrix , is sufficiently small and choose constants , , and . Set .
Step 2: if , stop.
Step 3: obtain a search direction by solving
Step 4: compute by Yuan-Wei-Lu line search conditions (22) and (23).
Step 5: find the scaling factors and by (18) and (19).
Step 6: let . Update by (17).
Step 7: let , and go to Step 2.
