History of the Barzilai-Borwein method
$begingroup$
I seem to recall hearing the story that the Barzilai-Borwein method (a first-order optimization method with superlinear convergence) was discovered by accident, involving some indexing error in some numerical code. I cannot find any reference. Can anyone confirm or contradict this statement with some reference? Thanks a bunch!
