References for trust region dogleg method

625 Views Asked by At

Can you provide good references to the trust region dogleg method? This optimization method is used in Matlab's fsolve to solve nonlinear simultaneous equations and I want to understand it better.

I have noticed the list of references at the bottom of the Matlab help page but I'm lookng for something that gives a gentler introduction: more intuitive, not too mathematical and preferably with diagrams. I have a background in quantum physics, but am not so strong on numerical math.

Section 6.4.2 of the book "Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimzation and Nonlinear Equations" by J. E. Dennis and R. B. Schnabel gives a very readable description of the trust region approach using a single and double dogleg step. There are some figures, a worked out example, and pseudocode is provided in an appendix.
