On the exactness of a class of nondifferentiable penalty functions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 1988
We consider a class of non-differentiable penalty functions for the solution of nonlinear programming problems without convexity assumptions. Preliminarily, we introduce a notion of exactness which appears to be of relevance in connection with the solution of the constrained problem by means of unconstrained minimization methods. Then, we show that the

On Smoothing Exact Penalty Functions for Convex Constrained Optimization

SIAM Journal on Optimization, 1994
Summary: A quadratic smoothing approximation to nondifferentiable exact penalty functions for convex constrained optimization is proposed and its properties are established. The smoothing approximation is used as the basis of an algorithm for solving problems with (i) embedded network structures, and (ii) nonlinear minimax problems. Extensive numerical

Exact penalty functions and Lagrange multipliers

Optimization, 1991
In this paper we consider a class of nondifferentiable penalty functions associated with a Lipschitz programming problem with an abstract geometric constraint. We analyse the relationship between this class of functions and Kuhn-Tucker type necessary conditions for the programming problem.

A lower bound for the controlling parameters of the exact penalty functions

Mathematical Programming, 1978
The purpose of this paper is to present new exact penalty functions and discuss their properties. A lower bound on the controlling parameters is given, for which above this value, the optimum of the exact penalty function coincides with the optimum of the nonlinear programming problem.

Exact penalty functions and stability in locally Lipschitz programming

Mathematical Programming, 1984
We extend the theory of exact penalty functions for nonlinear programs whose objective functions and equality and inequality constraints are locally Lipschitz; arbitrary simple constraints are also allowed. Assuming a weak stability condition, we show that for all sufficiently large penalty parameter values an isolated minimum of the nonlinear program ...

A class of exact penalty functions and penalty algorithms for nonsmooth constrained optimization problems

Journal of Global Optimization, 2019
For nonlinear optimization problems with equality, inequality and bound constraints, the authors consider a family of penalty functions and prove that, under suitable assumptions, which include a so-called weakly generalized Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification, when the penalty parameter is large enough every local optimal solution ...

A New Exact Penalty Function

SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2003
A new approach to exact penalization of a constrained, nonlinear optimization problem is introduced. This is motivated by the desire to deal with the following list of perceived failures of other exact penalty methods: 1. nonsmoothness is avoided; 2. the penalized objective remains bounded below under mild assumptions; 3.

A dual differentiable exact penalty function

Mathematical Programming, 1983
A new penalty function is associated with an inequality constrained nonlinear programming problem via its dual. This penalty function is globally differentiable if the functions defining the original problem are twice globally differentiable. In addition, the penalty parameter remains finite.
