Global Convergence of Augmented Lagrangian Method Applied to Mathematical Program with Switching Constraints

The mathematical program with switching constraints (MPSC) is a kind of problems with disjunctive constraints. The existing convergence results cannot directly be applied to this kind of problem since the required constraint qualifications for ensuring the convergence are very likely to fail. In this paper, we apply the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) to solve the … Read more
