Abstract A modification based on a linearization of a ridge-path optimization method is presented. The linearized ridge-path method is a nongradient, conjugate direction method which converges quadratically in half the number of search directions required for Powell's method of conjugate directions. The ridge-path method and its modification are compared with some basic algorithms, namely, univariate method, steepest descent method, Powell's conjugate direction method, conjugate gradient method, and variable-metric method. The assessment indicates that the ridge-path method, with modifications, could present a promising technique for optimization.
