Abstract
In this paper, we study greedy variants of quasi-Newton methods. They are based on the updating forulas from a certain subclass of the Broyden family. In particular, this subclass includes the well-known DFP, BFGS ans SR1 updates. However, in contrast to the classical quasi-Newton methods, which use the difference of successive iterates for updating the Hessian approximations, our methods apply basis vectors, greedily selected so as to maximize a certain measure of progress. For greedy quasi-Newton methods, we estabish an explicit non-asymptotic bound on their rate of local superlinear convergence, which contains a contracting factor, depending on the square of the iteration counter. We also show that these methods produce Hessian approximations whose deviation from the exact Hessians linearly convergences to zero.
