In my class notes, the author says:



"If $f:mathbb{R}^n to mathbb{R}$ is bounded below and $p_k$ is a descent direction and the $alpha-beta$ also known as Armijo-Goldstein condition is met then either $nabla f(x_k) to 0$ or the angle between $nabla f(x_k)$ and $p_k$ approaches 90 degrees."



I think the author meant $| nabla f(x_k) | to 0$ as this would imply that we are approaching the stationary point of $f$??



or in the worst case scenario $nabla f(x_k)$ and $p_k$ becomes orthogonal.
It means that $p_k$ still decreases the $f$ but the rate of decrease decreases?

    $nabla f(x_k) to 0$ is is equivalent to $|nabla f(x_k) |to0$
