Name

RECALC — Specify interval (in number of steps) for Hessian recalculation.

Synopsis

 RECALC=n
			

Description

Requires that an exact Hessian be computed every n steps. The default value for n is set very high (99999), resulting in essentially no recalculation but only approximate updates based on the three step procedure above. While specifying RECALC to a lower value will certainly make the optimization more stable, but vastly slower as diagonalization of the Hessian matrix is a very slow step computationally.

Abbreviation:

none

Requires:

EF or TS.

Default value:

99999
