CG+
Software for Large-scale Unconstrained Optimization
CG+ is a Conjugate Gradient code for solving large-scale, unconstrained,
nonlinear optimization problems. CG+ implements three different versions
of the Conjugate Gradient method: the Fletcher-Reeves method, the Polak-Ribiere
method, and the positive Polak-Ribiere method (Beta always non-negative).
The code has been developed at the Optimization Center, a joint
venture of Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University.
The current release is version 1.1. The distribution file was
last changed on 04/17/00.
