To improve the performance of the L-BFGS method for large scale unconstrained optimization, repeating of some BFGS updates was proposed e.g. in [1]. Since this can be time consuming, the extra updates need to be selected carefully. We show that groups of these updates can be repeated infinitely many times under some conditions, without a noticeable increase of the computational time; the limit update is a block BFGS update [17]. It can be obtained by solving of some Lyapunov matrix equation...
