On Exact Augmented Lagrangian Functions in Nonlinear Programming

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Optimization and Applications

Abstract

The problem considered here is the nonlinear programming problem:

$$ {\text{minimize }}f(x){\text{ s}}{\text{.t}}{\text{. }}g(x){\mkern 1mu} \leqslant {\mkern 1mu} 0, $$
(NLP)

where f : ℝn → ℝ and g : ℝn → ℝm are twice continuously differentiable functions.
