Abstract

This paper analyzes the mathematical behavior of nongradient parallel minimization algorithms. The convergence of parallel synchronous iterative procedures corresponding to linearly independent direction methods and to mutually conjugate direction methods is discussed. For the latter, convergence with finite termination on quadratic objective functions and convergence on sufficiently smooth nonquadratic objective functions is proved.
