A Nonmonotone Projection Method for Constrained System of Nonlinear Equations

Abstract EN

This paper deals with the nonmonotone projection algorithm for constrained nonlinear equations.

For some starting points, the previous projection algorithms for the problem may encounter slow convergence which is related to the monotone behavior of the iterative sequence as well as the iterative direction.

To circumvent this situation, we adopt the nonmonotone technique introduced by Dang to develop a nonmonotone projection algorithm.

After constructing the nonmonotone projection algorithm, we show its convergence under some suitable condition.

Preliminary numerical experiment is reported at the end of this paper, from which we can see that the algorithm we propose converges more quickly than that of the usual projection algorithm for some starting points.
