In numerical optimization , the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno ( BFGS ) algorithm is an iterative method for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. Like the related Davidon–Fletcher–Powell method , BFGS determines the descent direction by preconditioning the gradient with curvature information. It does so by gradually improving an approximation to the Hessian matrix of the loss function , obtained only from gradient evaluations (or approximate gradient evaluations) via a generalized secant method .

5785-415: The function considered as a manifold. The eigenvalues of the Hessian at that point are the principal curvatures of the function, and the eigenvectors are the principal directions of curvature. (See Gaussian curvature § Relation to principal curvatures .) Hessian matrices are used in large-scale optimization problems within Newton -type methods because they are the coefficient of the quadratic term of
5874-511: The function is not strongly convex , then the condition has to be enforced explicitly e.g. by finding a point x k +1 satisfying the Wolfe conditions , which entail the curvature condition, using line search. Instead of requiring the full Hessian matrix at the point x k + 1 {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} _{k+1}} to be computed as B k + 1 {\displaystyle B_{k+1}} ,
5963-451: The gradient is already computed, the approximate Hessian can be computed by a linear (in the size of the gradient) number of scalar operations. (While simple to program, this approximation scheme is not numerically stable since r {\displaystyle r} has to be made small to prevent error due to the O ( r ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}(r)} term, but decreasing it loses precision in
6052-553: The identity matrix on the left side and the inverse matrix on the right: ( 1 0 2 3 0 1 2 2 ) . {\displaystyle \left({\begin{array}{cc|cc}1&0&2&3\\0&1&2&2\end{array}}\right).} Thus, A − 1 = ( 2 3 2 2 ) . {\displaystyle \mathbf {A} ^{-1}={\begin{pmatrix}2&3\\2&2\end{pmatrix}}.} The reason it works
6141-406: The inverse of a square matrix in some instances, where a set of orthogonal vectors (but not necessarily orthonormal vectors) to the columns of U are known. In which case, one can apply the iterative Gram–Schmidt process to this initial set to determine the rows of the inverse V . A matrix that is its own inverse (i.e., a matrix A such that A = A , and consequently A = I ),
6230-413: The last being the entire bordered Hessian; if 2 m + 1 {\displaystyle 2m+1} is larger than n + m , {\displaystyle n+m,} then the smallest leading principal minor is the Hessian itself.

Specifically, sign conditions are imposed on
6497-406: The normal "real" Hessian is a 2 n × 2 n {\displaystyle 2n\times 2n} matrix. As the object of study in several complex variables are holomorphic functions , that is, solutions to the n-dimensional Cauchy–Riemann conditions , we usually look on the part of the Hessian that contains information invariant under holomorphic changes of coordinates. This "part"

6942-899: The secant condition, B k + 1 s k = y k {\displaystyle B_{k+1}\mathbf {s} _{k}=\mathbf {y} _{k}} . Choosing u = y k {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} =\mathbf {y} _{k}} and v = B k s k {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} =B_{k}\mathbf {s} _{k}} , we can obtain: Finally, we substitute α {\displaystyle \alpha } and β {\displaystyle \beta } into B k + 1 = B k + α u u ⊤ + β v v ⊤ {\displaystyle B_{k+1}=B_{k}+\alpha \mathbf {u} \mathbf {u} ^{\top }+\beta \mathbf {v} \mathbf {v} ^{\top }} and get

Then, add row 1 to row 2 ( R 1 + R 2 → R 2 ) . {\displaystyle (R_{1}+R_{2}\to R_{2}).} This yields ( − 1 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 1 1 ) . {\displaystyle \left({\begin{array}{cc|cc}-1&{\tfrac {3}{2}}&1&0\\0&{\tfrac {1}{2}}&1&1\end{array}}\right).} Next, subtract row 2, multiplied by 3, from row 1 ( R 1 − 3 R 2 → R 1 ) , {\displaystyle (R_{1}-3\,R_{2}\to R_{1}),} which yields ( − 1 0 − 2 − 3 0 1 2 1 1 ) . {\displaystyle \left({\begin{array}{cc|cc}-1&0&-2&-3\\0&{\tfrac {1}{2}}&1&1\end{array}}\right).} Finally, multiply row 1 by −1 ( − R 1 → R 1 ) {\displaystyle (-R_{1}\to R_{1})} and row 2 by 2 ( 2 R 2 → R 2 ) . {\displaystyle (2\,R_{2}\to R_{2}).} This yields

7387-500: The test is inconclusive. This implies that at a local minimum the Hessian is positive-semidefinite, and at a local maximum the Hessian is negative-semidefinite. For positive-semidefinite and negative-semidefinite Hessians the test is inconclusive (a critical point where the Hessian is semidefinite but not definite may be a local extremum or a saddle point). However, more can be said from the point of view of Morse theory . The second-derivative test for functions of one and two variables
7476-430: The true Hessian matrix, and the BFGS approximation may not converge to the true Hessian matrix. The BFGS update formula heavily relies on the curvature s k ⊤ y k {\displaystyle \mathbf {s} _{k}^{\top }\mathbf {y} _{k}} being strictly positive and bounded away from zero. This condition is satisfied when we perform a line search with Wolfe conditions on

Suppose f : C n → C , {\displaystyle f\colon \mathbb {C} ^{n}\to \mathbb {C} ,} and write f ( z 1 , … , z n ) . {\displaystyle f\left(z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n}\right).} Identifying C n {\displaystyle {\mathbb {C} }^{n}} with R 2 n {\displaystyle {\mathbb {R} }^{2n}} ,
7832-428: The usual determinant is not defined. The conditions for existence of left-inverse or right-inverse are more complicated, since a notion of rank does not exist over rings. The set of n × n invertible matrices together with the operation of matrix multiplication and entries from ring R form a group , the general linear group of degree n , denoted GL n ( R ) . Let A be a square n -by- n matrix over
