In this paper, a primal dual method for general possible nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems is considered. The method is an exterior point type method which means that it p...
We give a pattern search method for nonlinearly constrained optimization that is an adaption of a bound constrained augmented Lagrangian method first proposed by Conn, Gould, and T...
Abstract: We propose a first-order interior-point method for linearly constrained smooth optimization that unifies and extends first-order affine-scaling method and replicator d...
Given an algorithm A for solving some mathematical problem based on the iterative solution of simpler subproblems, an Outer Trust-Region (OTR) modification of A is the result of ...
