On differentiable exact penalty functions

From MaRDI portal





We study a differentiable exact penalty function for solving twice continuously differentiable inequality constrained optimization problems. Under certain assumptions on the parameters of the penalty function, we show the equivalence of the stationary points of this function and the Kuhn-Tucker points of the restricted problem as well as their extreme points. Numerical experiments are presented that corroborate the theory, and a rule is given for choosing the parameters of the penalty function.
