Abstract
In this paper, an adaptive nonmonotone line search method for unconstrained minimization problems is proposed. At every iteration, the new algorithm selects only one of the two directions: a Newton-type direction and a negative curvature direction, to perform the line search. The nonmonotone technique is included in the backtracking line search when the Newton-type direction is the search direction. Furthermore, if the negative curvature direction is the search direction, we increase the steplength under certain conditions. The global convergence to a stationary point with second-order optimality conditions is established. Some numerical results which show the efficiency of the new algorithm are reported.
