abstract

We propose a family of spectral gradient methods, whose stepsize is determined by a convex combination of the long Barzilai-Borwein (BB) stepsize and the short BB stepsize. Each member of the family is shown to share certain quasi-Newton property in the sense of least squares. The family also includes some other gradient methods as its special cases. We prove that the family of methods is $R$-superlinearly convergent for two-dimensional strictly convex quadratics. Moreover, the family is $R$-linearly convergent in the any-dimensional case. Numerical results of the family with different settings are presented, which demonstrate that the proposed family is promising.

  1. Barzilai-Borwein Fails Superlinear Convergence on an Open Set of Quadratics for Every Dimension $n\geq 4$

    math.OC 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For every dimension n≥4, open families of strictly convex quadratics and starting points exist where BB1 converges no faster than a fixed geometric rate, ruling out superlinear convergence on a positive-measure set.
