New Results on Superlinear Convergence of Classical Quasi-Newton Methods

Optimization and Control 2021-06-02 v3

Abstract

We present a new theoretical analysis of local superlinear convergence of classical quasi-Newton methods from the convex Broyden class. As a result, we obtain a significant improvement in the currently known estimates of the convergence rates for these methods. In particular, we show that the corresponding rate of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno method depends only on the product of the dimensionality of the problem and the logarithm of its condition number.
