Abstract

In this paper we consider a new
hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm, which is convex combination of the
Liu-Story algorithm and Dixon algorithm, the descent property and global
convergence are proved for the new suggested method. Numerical comparisons show
that the present method often behaves better than Liu-Storey and Dixon methods. 

Keywords

Conjugate gradient, Descente property
