Abstract

Polyak's subgradient method for constrained nondifferentiable optimization problems is modified in one respect to improve the computational efficiency. The two consecutive projection operations in Polyak method are combined into a single projection operation. The resulting algorithm has a convergence property which is strictly stronger than that of the original Polyak method. A computational test shows significant improvement both in the number of iterations and in the CPU time.
