Title A Limited Memory Variable Metric Method for Bound Constrained Optimization
Author(s) Steve Benson
Abstract

We describe an algorithm for solving nonlinear optimization problems with lower and upper bounds that constrain the variables. The algorithm uses projected gradients to construct a limited memory BFGS matrix and determine a step direction. We will compare and contrast it to a similar algortihm L-BFGS-B, and show numerical results demonstrate is effectiveness on a set of large test problems
