%0 Journal Article %T On the Global Convergence of the PERRY-SHANNO Method for Nonconvex Unconstrained Optimization Problems %A Linghua Huang %A Qingjun Wu %A Gonglin Yuan %J Applied Mathematics %P 315-320 %@ 2152-7393 %D 2011 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/am.2011.23037 %X In this paper, we prove the global convergence of the Perry-Shanno¡¯s memoryless quasi-Newton (PSMQN) method with a new inexact line search when applied to nonconvex unconstrained minimization problems. Preliminary numerical results show that the PSMQN with the particularly line search conditions are very promising. %K Unconstrained Optimization %K Nonconvex Optimization %K Global Convergence %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=4394
