Rosen's Gradient Projection with discrete steps

Abstract

In 1960, J. B. Rosen gave a famous Gradient Projection Method in [1]. But the convergence of the algorithm has not been proved for a long time. Many authors paid much attention to this problem, such as X.S. Zhang proved in [2] (1984) that the limit point of {xk} which is generated by Rosen's algorithm is a K-T piont for a 3-dimensional caes, if {xk} is convergent. D. Z. Du proved in [3] (1986) that Rosen's algorithm is convergent for 4-dimensional. In [4] (1986), the author of this paper gave a general proof of the convergence of Rosen's Gradient Projection Method for ann-dimensional case. As Rosen's method requires exact line search, we know that exact line search is very difficult on computer. In this paper a line search method of discrete steps are presented and the convergence of the algorithm is proved.
