Description
Maulana Malik and co-authors propose a faster flavor of the conjugate gradient method for smooth optimization problems. Their 2026 paper builds on two known three-term variants of the method, adding a new descent structure meant to improve speed and stability. Conjugate gradient methods are workhorses for large problems because they need little memory.
The authors prove the method always steps downhill and converges globally under a standard line search rule. Numerical tests on benchmark problems show it beating close relatives with similar designs. They then apply it to a low-carbon supply chain problem, where the goal is to cut emissions through better planning. The application shows the method's reach beyond test problems. Cleaner logistics and faster solvers meet in one contribution.
