In this paper we proposed quasi-Newton and limited memory quasi-Newton methods for objective functions defined on Grassmannians or a product of Grassmannians. Specifically we defin...
We present a class of inexact adaptive multilevel trust-region SQP-methods for the efficient solution of optimization problems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations...
