The Hybrid BFGS-CG Method in Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems by Mohd Asrul Hery Ibrahim, Mustafa Mamat, Wah June Leong

“…Hence, a new hybrid method, known as the BFGS-CG method, has been created based on these properties, combining the search direction between conjugate gradient methods and quasi-Newton methods. In comparison to standard BFGS methods and conjugate gradient methods, the BFGS-CG method shows significant improvement in the total number of iterations and CPU time required to solve large scale unconstrained optimization problems. …”
