Global convergence of a second-order augmented Lagrangian method under an error bound condition

This work deals with convergence to points satisfying the weak second-order necessary optimality conditions of a second-order safeguarded augmented Lagrangian method from the literature. To this end, we propose a new second-order sequential optimality condition that is, in a certain way, based on the iterates generated by the algorithm itself. This also allows us to … Read more
