Some convergently three-term trust region conjugate gradient algorithms under gradient function non-Lipschitz...

This paper introduces two three-term trust region conjugate gradient algorithms, TT-TR-WP and TT-TR-CG, which are capable of converging under non-Lipschitz continuous gradient functions without any additional conditions. These algorithms possess sufficient descent and trust region properties, and demonstrate global convergence. In order to assess their numerical performance, we compare them with two classical algorithms in terms of restoring noisy gray-scale and color images as well as solving large-scale unconstrained problems. In restoring noisy gray-scale images, we set the performance of TT-TR-WP as the standard, then TT-TR-CG takes around 2.33 times longer. The other algorithms around 2.46 and 2.41 times longer, respectively. In solving the same color images, the proposed algorithms exhibit relative good performance over other algorithms. Additionally, TT-TR-WP and TT-TR-CG are competitive in unconstrained problems, and the former has wide applicability while the latter has strong robustness. Moreover, the proposed algorithms are both more outstanding than the baseline algorithms in terms of applicability and robustness.
