In this paper, we consider optimization problems over closed embedded submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which are defined by the constraints $c(x) = 0$. We propose a class of constraint dissolving approaches for these Riemannian optimization…
Approximate stationarity conditions provide necessary optimality conditions without requiring additional assumptions by demanding that a perturbed stationarity system possesses solutions as the involved perturbations tend to zero. Together…
