references: L-BFGS rate of convergence

1.6k Views Asked by At

I was trying to find results about the rate of convergence for the L-BFGS algorithm (in the nonlinear case).

What I end up with so far is that

  • the BFGS-Algorithm converges Q-superlinearly
  • this 50 year old Paper characterizing superlinear convergence of quasi-newton methods
  • Theorem 3.5. (and 3.6.) in Nocedal's Numerical Optimization which do not give conditions that make sure the step length equals one for all but finitely many iterations.

Is there maybe a known negative result which I did not find?

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance!
