Gradient and Quasi-Newton Optimization Methods

Iterative methods for minimizing smooth functions, such as the BFGS algorithm, the Frank-Wolfe algorithm and sequential quadratic programming. An algorithm belongs here when its cited article describes an iterative method for unconstrained or constrained numerical optimization. It excludes linear programming and metaheuristic methods. A member is placed here by what its own cited article states about it, not by the name of the algorithm or by the uses it is put to today, so each entry sits in the group its source describes it as belonging to.
