Popis: When solving inequality constrained optimization problems via Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), it is potentially advantageous to generate iterates that all satisfy the constraints: all quadratic programs encountered are then feasible and there is no need for a surrogate merit function. (Feasibility of the successive iterates is in fact required in many contexts such as in real-time applications or when the objective function is not defined outside the feasible set.) It has recently been shown that this is, indeed, possible, by means of a suitable perturbation of the original SQP iteration, without losing superlinear convergence. In this context, the well-known Maratos effect is compounded by the possible infeasibility of the full step of one even close to a solution. These difficulties have been accommodated by making use of a suitable modification of a “bending” technique proposed by Mayne and Polak, requiring evaluation of the constraints function at an auxiliary point at each iteration.In Part I...
