Abstract The technique of Automatic differentiation allows the computation of exact Jacobian-vector, vector-Jacobian and Hessian-vector products. This information allows the implementation of a trust region algorithm that is completely matrix free; that is, neither the exact Hessian and Jacobian nor approximation thereof have to be stored. Therefore, the presented algorithm applies iterative solvers to compute the normal and the tangential steps instead of forming and factoring the derivative matrices directly. First numerical results for a part of the CUTE test sets are shown. Furthermore, possible extentions to optimization problems involving inequality constraints are discussed.
