Abstract A new algorithm for function minimization is presented. This algorithm is based upon homogenous functions. Consequently a (n + 2) step convergence is obtained for homogenous functions on (n) variables, while evaluation or estimation of the Hessian matrix is not needed. Numerical results on many general tests functions indicate that the algorithm is very robust and very efficient.
