Abstract OPEN ACCESS Citation: Yuan G, Sheng Z, Liu W (2016) The Modified HZ Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Large-Scale Nonsmooth Optimization. PLoS ONE 11(10): e0164289. doi:10.1371/journal. pone.0164289
In this paper, the Hager and Zhang (HZ) conjugate gradient (CG) method and the modified HZ (MHZ) CG method are presented for large-scale nonsmooth convex minimization. Under some mild conditions, convergent results of the proposed methods are established. Numerical results show that the presented methods can be better efficiency for large-scale nonsmooth problems, and several problems are tested (with the maximum dimensions to 100,000 variables).
