Why Is Charles George Broyden Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Charles George Broyden was a mathematician who specialized in optimization problems and numerical linear algebra. While a physicist working at English Electric Company from 1961–1965, he adapted the Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula to solving some nonlinear systems of equations that he was working with, leading to his widely cited 1965 paper, "A class of methods for solving nonlinear simultaneous equations". He was a lecturer at UCW Aberystwyth from 1965–1967. He later became a senior lecturer at University of Essex from 1967–1970, where he independently discovered the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method. The BFGS method has then become a key technique in solving nonlinear optimization problems. Moreover, he was among those who derived the symmetric rank-one updating formula, and his name was also attributed to Broyden's methods and Broyden family of quasi-Newton methods. After leaving the University of Essex, he continued his research career in the Netherlands and Italy, being awarded the chair at University of Bologna. In later years, he began focusing on numerical linear algebra, in particular conjugate gradient methods and their taxonomy.
