Scaled Diagonal Gradient-Type Method with Extra Update for Large-Scale Unconstrained Optimization by Mahboubeh Farid, Wah June Leong, Najmeh Malekmohammadi, Mustafa Mamat

“…The new method is in the frame of Barzilai and Borwein (BB) method, except that the Hessian matrix is approximated by a diagonal matrix rather than the multiple of identity matrix in the BB method. The main idea is to design a new diagonal updating scheme that incorporates scaling to instantly reduce the large eigenvalues of diagonal approximation and otherwise employs extra updates to increase small eigenvalues. …”
