A New Modified Three-Term Conjugate Gradient Method with Sufficient Descent Property and Its Global Convergence

A new modified three-term conjugate gradient (CG) method is shown for solving the large scale optimization problems. The idea relates to the famous Polak-Ribière-Polyak (PRP) formula. As the numerator of PRP plays a vital role in numerical result and not having the jamming issue, PRP method is not globally convergent. So, for the new three-term CG method, the idea is to use the PRP numerator and combine it with any good CG formula’s denominator...
