摘要

In this article, an ODE-based trust region filter algorithm for unconstrained optimization is proposed. It can be regarded as a combination of trust region and filter techniques with ODE-based methods. Unlike the existing trust-region-filter methods and ODE-based methods, a distinct feature of this method is that at each iteration, a reduced linear system is solved to obtain a trial step, thus avoiding solving a trust region subproblem. Under some standard assumptions, it is proven that the algorithm is globally convergent. Preliminary numerical results show that the new algorithm is efficient for large scale problems.
