This important monograph addresses in a comprehensive way the theory and practice of unconstrained optimization covering theory, convergence as well as practical behavior of the most commonly used unconstrained optimization algorithms developed during the last 50 years.
Written by a world expert and innovator in methods of conjugate gradient, Dr Neculai Andrei, chapter 8 of the monograph is an outstanding rendition of the history of developments in the fascinating topic of conjugate gradient algorithms in particular the survey of modern and novel methods of conjugate gradient applications and concluding with a summary of open unsolved problems of conjugate gradient algorithms that is illustrative of the breadth of this valuable original survey.
