A unifying theory of exactness of linear penalty functions II: parametric penalty functions [PDF]
In this article we develop a general theory of exact parametric penalty functions for constrained optimization problems. The main advantage of the method of parametric penalty functions is the fact that a parametric penalty function can be both smooth and exact unlike the standard (i.e. non-parametric) exact penalty functions that are always nonsmooth.

New Exact Penalty Functions for Nonlinear Constrained Optimization Problems
For two kinds of nonlinear constrained optimization problems, we propose two simple penalty functions, respectively, by augmenting the dimension of the primal problem with a variable that controls the weight of the penalty terms.
