A Sparse Variable Metric Optimization Method Applied to the Solution of Power System Problems

Abstract
The sparse form of one of the most successful Variable Metric Methods (BFGS [1, 2]) is used to solve power system optimization problems. The main characteristic of the method is that the sparse factors of the Hessian matrix are used as opposed to a full inverse Hessian. In addition, these factors are updated at every BFGS iteration using a fast and robust sparsity oriented updating algorithm.
