The purpose of this paper is to extend a family of variable metric methods, of which the BFGS algorithm (Ref. 1) is a member, into function space, in particular, for the solution of unconstrained optimal control problems. An inexact one-dimensional minimization as suggested by Fletcher (ref. 2) is used. It is shown that, with this stepsize rule and under some mild assumptions, the sequence constructed by this family of methods converges superlinearly for a strictly convex functional defined on a suitable Banach space. This result is shown to remain valid on a Hilbert space and on a Euclidean space under more relaxed assumptions. The BFGS method without line searches is used to solve several standard numerical examples, and excellent performance is observed.

BRACE, RLMCWADE, JEUSNCapt. R.L. Brace:
USN reported for active duty in the U.S. Naval Reserve in June 1945 and upon his release from active duty in 1948 entered Chaffey Junior College Ontario Calif. from which he received his Associate Degree in Engineering in June 1949. Subsequently he attended Purdue University from which he received his BS degree in Chemical Engineering in 1951 and while on a Westinghouse Research Fellowship his MS degree in Engineering in 1952. He joined Phillips Petroleum Co. in Oklahoma as a research engineer with the Jet Fuel Research Group upon receiving the latter degree and while so serving obtained 12 patents. In January 1955 he was recalled to active duty and reported to Officers Candidate School. Newport R.I. Upon being commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve in May of that year he began his flight training at the Naval Air Training Command ultimately being designated a Naval Aviator and augumented into the regular Navy in 1956. He served with four carrier-based attack squadrons including three combat tours and in 1962 completed a duty assignment with the U.S. Army in South Vietnam. Other assignments include Catapult and Arresting Gear Officer USS Enterprise (CVN-65) duty on the Staff. Commander Naval Air Force. U.S. Atlantic Fleet: Assistant Chief of Staff for Material
