NPASA: An algorithm for nonlinear programming -- Motivation and Global Convergence

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper, we present a two phase method for solving nonlinear programming problems called Nonlinear Polyhedral Active Set Algorithm (NPASA) that has global and local convergence guarantees under reasonable assumptions. The first phase consists of an augmented Lagrangian method to ensure global convergence while the second phase is designed to promote fast local convergence by performing a balanced reduction of two error estimators for nonlinear programs. After presenting error estimators for nonlinear programs and our algorithm NPASA, we establish global convergence properties for NPASA. Local quadratic convergence of NPASA is established in a companion paper.
