Class 5, C&O 466/666



  1. Line Search Methods (Chapter 3), of type where pk is the search direction and alphak is the step length
    1. Step Length
      1. Wolfe conditions (geometric interpretations)
          sufficient decrease - step is not too large curvature condition - step is not too small
      2. Lemma 3.1 (existence of step lengths)
    2. Convergence of Line Search Methods
      1. Theorem 3.2 (cos(theta) geometric interpretation)
