“…The papers by Hager and Zhang [23], Dai and Kou [7], Y. Narushima, H. Yabe and J.A. Ford [31], Zhang, Zhou and Li [41], Cheng [6], Andrei [2,3], Yu [36] and Dong [11][12][13][14][15][16] proposed several conjugate gradient methods together with their global convergence, in which their search directions satisfy (1.8) independently of the line search used. Extensive numerical results showed the exploitation of new techniques greatly enhance the numerical efficiency.…”
