    On the solution of quadratic programming problems with bound constraints

    No full text
    An algorithm is proposed that uses the conjugate gradient method to explore the face of the feasible region defined by the current iterate, and the gradient projection method to move to a different face. It is proved that for strictly convex problems the algorithm converges to the solution, and that if the solution is nondegenerate, then the algorithm terminates at the solution in a finite number of steps. Numerical results are presented for the obstacle problem, the elastic-plastic torsion problem, and the journal bearing problems. On a selection of these problems with dimensions ranging from 5000 to 15,000, the algorithm determines the solution in fewer than 15 iterations, and with a small number of function-gradient evaluations and Hessian-vector products per iteration

    The effect of diagonal scaling on projected gradient methods for bound constrained quadratic programming problems

    We examine the e®ect of diagonal scaling on the projected gradient method of More' and Toraldo [SIAM J. Optimization 1, (1991), pp.93- 114] when the constraints are bound constraints and the quadratic form is positive de ̄nite. It is shown that scaling causes the method to visit fewer faces and to minimize the function more quickly. Numerical results are given with the journal bearing proble
