Abstract

In this paper, the Broyden class of quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained optimization is investigated. Non-monotone linesearch procedure is introduced, which is combined with the Broyden's class. Under the convexity assumption on objective function, the global convergence of the Broyden's class is proved.
