On sequential optimality conditions for smooth constrained optimization

On sequential optimality conditions for smooth constrained optimization

Sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Approximate KKT and Approximate Gradient Projection conditions are analyzed in this work. These conditions are not necessarily equivalent. Implications between different conditions and counter-examples will be shown. Algorithmic consequences will be discussed.

Strict Constraint Qualifications and Sequential Optimality Conditions for Constrained Optimization

Sequential optimality conditions for constrained optimization are necessarily satisfied by local minimizers, independently of the fulfillment of constraint qualifications. These conditions support the employment of different stopping criteria for practical optimization algorithms. On the other hand, when an appropriate strict constraint qualification associated with some sequential optimality c...

Sequential Optimality Conditions and Variational Inequalities

In recent years, sequential optimality conditions are frequently used for convergence of iterative methods to solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems. The sequential optimality conditions do not require any of the constraint qualications. In this paper, We present the necessary sequential complementary approximate Karush Kuhn Tucker (CAKKT) condition for a point to be a solution of a ...
