Hi,

Barzilai and Borwein formulated 2 symmetric step-length formulas that
minimize

i) ||s_(k-1) - n * y_(k-1)||^2
ii) ||b * s_(k-1) - y_(k-1)||^2

with respect to n and b respectively, where,

1) s_k = w_(k+1) - w_k
2) y_k = g_(k+1) - g_k
3) g is gradient of a function
4) k is iteration number.

The step-lengths are used for iteration,

i) w_(k+1) = w_k - n_k * g_k
ii) w_(k+1) = w_k - b_k * g_k

respectively. The result they obtained were,

A) n_k = <s_(k-1), y_(k-1)> / < y_(k-1), y_(k-1)>
B) b_k = <s_(k-1), s_(k-1)> / < s_(k-1), y_(k-1)>

where <,> denotes inner dot product. Result (A) looks alright, but (B)
does not unless it is minimizing ||1/b * s_(k-1) - y_(k-1)||^2.

Any comment?
