A multivariate spectral hybridization of HS and PRP method for nonlinear systems of equations

Abstract: We present a multivariate spectral hybridization of Hestenes-Stiefel (HS) and Polak-Ribiere-Polyak (PRP) method for solving large-scale nonlinear systems of equations. The search direction of the method is obtained by incorporating a multivariate spectral approach with the positive hybridization of Hestenes-Stiefel and Polak-Ribiere-Polyak parameters (HS & PRP hybrid+). By employing a derivative-free nonmonotone line search technique, the global convergence of the sequence generated by the method is proven. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the good performance of the method compared with similar methods in the literature designed for solving large-scale nonlinear systems of equations.
