Optimal step length for the maximal decrease of a self-concordant function by the Newton method
Abstract
In this paper we consider the problem of finding the optimal step length for the Newton method on the class of self-concordant functions, with the decrease in function value as criterion. We formulate this problem as an optimal control problem and use optimal control theory to solve it.
