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 ...

We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...
A new quasi-Newton scheme for updating a low rank positive semi-definite Hessian approximation is described, primarily for use in sequential quadratic programming methods for non...
We present an algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization. The method is based on a characterization of inexact sequential quadratic programming (SQP) steps that ca...
Most local convergence analyses of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for nonlinear programming make strong assumptions about the solution, namely, that the activ...
