We introduce a new barrier function which is not a barrier function in the usual sense: it has finite value at the boundary of the feasible region. Despite this, its iteration bou...

Most local convergence analyses of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for nonlinear programming make strong assumptions about the solution, namely, that the activ...
