A Family of Modified Spectral Projection Methods for Nonlinear Monotone Equations with Convex Constraint

Abstract EN

In this paper, we propose a family of modified spectral projection methods for nonlinear monotone equations with convex constraints, where the spectral parameter is mainly determined by a convex combination of the modified long Barzilai–Borwein stepsize and the modified short Barzilai–Borwein stepsize.

We obtain a trial point by the spectral method and then get the iteration point by the projection technique.

The algorithm can generate a bounded iterative sequence automatically, and we obtain the global convergence of the proposed method in the sense that every limit point is a solution of the nonlinear equation.

The proposed method can be used to resolve the large-scale nonlinear monotone equations with convex constraints including smooth and nonsmooth equations.

Numerical results for nonlinear equation problems and the ℓ1-norm regularization problem in compressive sensing demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of our method.
