Method of steepest descent.


e consider the problem ( Quadratic form minimum ). We propose to construct the sequence MATH as follows.

Start with any $x_{0}$ .

Suppose we are after step $k$ so that $x_{k}$ is already calculated. Evaluate the direction of decay MATH and set MATH We chose a $\tau_{k}$ to minimize MATH MATH and then set MATH We perform the following calculations to complete the recipe: MATH Therefore, MATH

MATH (Orthogonality of residues)
We substitute definition of $r_{k+1}$ : MATH MATH MATH MATH We collect the description of the recursion: MATH We eliminate one matrix multiplication by multiplying the last equation by $-A$ and adding $b$ : MATH The recursion starts from MATH and the results are accumulated MATH The equation $\left( \#\right) $ would accumulate numerical errors. Hence, periodically one has to calculate correct residual by using MATH

Algorithm

(Steepest descent) Start from any $x_{0}$ . Set MATH

Do the following MATH Periodically replace MATH before the step MATH .
