Several attempts have been made to modify the quasi-Newton condition in order obtain rapid convergence with complete properties (symmetric and positive definite) of inverse Hessian matrix (second derivative objective function). There are many unconstrained optimization methods that do not generate definiteness matrix. One those is symmetric rank 1( H-version) update (SR1 update), where this sat...

A is further called positive definite, symbolized A > 0, if the strict inequality in 1.1 holds for all nonzero x ∈ C. An equivalent condition forA ∈ Mn to be positive definite is thatA is Hermitian and all eigenvalues of A are positive real numbers. Given a positive semidefinite matrix A and p > 0, A denotes the unique positive semidefinite pth power of A. Let A and B be two Hermitian matrices ...
