Abstract

In this paper, a new trust region subproblem is proposed. The trust radius in the new subproblem adjusts itself adaptively. As a result, an adaptive trust region method is constructed based on the new trust region subproblem. The local and global convergence results of the adaptive trust region method are proved. Numerical results indicate that the new method is very efficient.
