New algorithm accelerates solving large-scale nonlinear least-squares problems

Researchers have developed a new Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg-Marquardt (HSLM) algorithm designed to efficiently solve large-scale nonlinear least-squares problems. This method constructs a low-dimensional subspace using various information sources, including gradient and curvature data, to compute a damped LM step. A key innovation is an adequacy monitor that adaptively enriches the subspace when needed, and a decoupled step acceptance strategy using Armijo backtracking. Numerical experiments on neural network training problems demonstrate that HSLM achieves convergence comparable to existing methods while significantly reducing computational costs, especially for problems with a high parameter dimension.

    Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg Marquardt Algorithm with Adequacy Monitor for Large Scale Least Squares Problems

    arXiv:2608.25524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is the most widely used method for solving nonlinear least-squares problems, as it combines the robustness of steepest descent with the fast local convergence of the Gauss-Newton method. Howe…
