Abstract

This paper presents a modified ODE-based algorithm for unconstrained optimization problems. It combines the idea of IMPBOT algorithm with nonmonotone and subspace techniques. The main feature of this method is that at each iteration, a lower dimensional system of linear equations is solved to obtain a trial step. Under some standard assumptions, the method is proven to be globally convergent. Numerical results show the efficiency of this proposed method in practical computation.
