Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula (or DFP; named after William C. Davidon, Roger Fletcher, and Michael J. D. Powell) finds the solution to the secant equation that is closest to the current estimate and satisfies the curvature condition. It was the first quasi-Newton method to generalize the secant method to a multidimensional problem. This update maintains the symmetry and positive definiteness of the Hessian matrix.

Given a function , its gradient (), and positive-definite Hessian matrix , the Taylor series is

and the Taylor series of the gradient itself (secant equation)

is used to update .

The DFP formula finds a solution that is symmetric, positive-definite and closest to the current approximate value of :

where

and is a symmetric and positive-definite matrix.

The corresponding update to the inverse Hessian approximation is given by

is assumed to be positive-definite, and the vectors and must satisfy the curvature condition

The DFP formula is quite effective, but it was soon superseded by the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno formula, which is it's dual (interchanging the roles of y and s).[1]
