This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Conjugate Gradient (CG) methods are widely used for solving large-scale nonlinear systems of equations arising in various real-life applications due to their efficiency in employing vector operations. However, the global convergence analysis of CG methods remains a significant challenge. In response, this study proposes scaled versions of CG parameters based on the renowned Barzilai-Borwein approach for solving convex-constrained monotone nonlinear equations. The proposed algorithms enforce a sufficient descent property independent of the accuracy of the line search procedure and ensure global convergence under appropriate assumptions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods in solving large-scale nonlinear systems, including their applicability to accurately solving the inverse kinematic problem of a 3DOF robotic manipulator, where the objective is to minimize the error in achieving a desired trajectory configuration.
