Abstract. In this paper, we consider a modified structured Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm to solve an unconstrained optimization problem with partial information on the Hessian. To approximate the Hessian matrix, we propose a modified secant (quasi-Newton) equation. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the proposed algorithm has local and super-linear convergence. Numerical experiments are done on a set of the unconstrained non-linear least squares problems. The results demonstrate the practical effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
