On the Global Convergence of a Trust Region Method for Solving Nonlinear Constraints Infeasibility Problem

A framework for proving global convergence for a class of nonlinear constraints infeasibility problem is presented without assuming that the Jacobian has full rank everywhere. The underlying method is based on the simple sufficient reduction criteria where trial points are accepted provided there is a sufficient decrease in the constraints violation function. The proposed methods … Read more

A Local Convergence Theory of a Filter Line Search Method for Nonlinear Programming

In this paper the theory of local convergence for a class of line search filter type methods for nonlinear programming is presented. The algorithm presented here is globally convergent (see Chin [4]) and the rate of convergence is two-step superlinear. The proposed algorithm solves a sequence of quadratic progrmming subproblems to obtain search directions and … Read more

A Global Convergence Theory of a Filter Line Search Method for Nonlinear Programming

A framework for proving global convergence for a class of line search filter type methods for nonlinear programming is presented. The underlying method is based on the dominance concept of multiobjective optimization where trial points are accepted provided there is a sufficient decrease in the objective function or constraints violation function. The proposed methods solve … Read more
