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 present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
Abstract. We study piecewise decomposition methods for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) for which all constraint functions are linear. At each iteration o...
