In this paper, we construct a new conjugate gradient method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method satisfies the sufficient decent property irrespective of the line search and the global convergence was established under some suitable. Further, the new method was used to train different sets of data via a feed forward neural network. Results obtained show that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the computational time by speeding up the directional minimization with a faster convergence rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
