New Two-Sided L-BFGS algorithm enhances optimization stability

Researchers have developed a new variant of the limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) optimization algorithm, called Two-Sided L-BFGS. This method addresses the issue of exploding condition numbers in the inverse Hessian approximation, which can cause numerical instability in complex optimization landscapes. The Two-Sided L-BFGS algorithm uses a geometric envelope to dynamically constrain the condition number, ensuring stability while preserving computational efficiency and global convergence properties. AI
