Abstract
We propose a new and efficient nonmonotone adaptive trust region algorithm to solve unconstrained optimization problems. This algorithm incorporates two novelties: it benefits from a radius dependent shrinkage parameter for adjusting the trust region radius that avoids undesirable directions and exploits a new strategy to prevent sudden increments of objective function values in nonmonotone trust region techniques. Global convergence of this algorithm is investigated under some mild conditions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm in solving a collection of unconstrained optimization problems from the CUTEst package.
