This work deals with the use of the conjugate gradient method in conjunction with an adjoint problem formulation for the simultaneous estimation of the spatially varying diffusion coefficient and of the source term distribution in a one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion problem. In the present...

A family of new conjugate gradient methods is proposed based on Perry’s idea, which satisfies the descent property or the sufficient descent property for any line search. In addition, based on the scaling technology and the restarting strategy, a family of scaling symmetric Perry conjugate...
