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…
We present a general theory of exact penalty functions with vectorial (multidimensional) penalty parameter for optimization problems in infinite dimensional spaces. In comparison with the scalar case, the use of vectorial penalty parameters…
In this two-part study we develop a general approach to the design and analysis of exact penalty functions for various optimal control problems, including problems with terminal and state constraints, problems involving differential…
In this two-part study we develop a unified approach to the analysis of the global exactness of various penalty and augmented Lagrangian functions for finite-dimensional constrained optimization problems. This approach allows one to verify…
This paper identifies necessary and sufficient conditions for the exactness of penalty functions in optimization problems whose constraint sets are not necessarily bounded. The case where the data of problems is locally Lipschitz,…
In this article we present a new perspective on the smooth exact penalty function proposed by Huyer and Neumaier that is becoming more and more popular tool for solving constrained optimization problems. Our approach to Huyer and Neumaier's…
In the second part of our study we introduce the concept of global extended exactness of penalty and augmented Lagrangian functions, and derive the localization principle in the extended form. The main idea behind the extended exactness…
The second part of our study is devoted to an analysis of the exactness of penalty functions for optimal control problems with terminal and pointwise state constraints. We demonstrate that with the use of the exact penalty function method…
A new class of smooth exact penalty functions was recently introduced by Huyer and Neumaier. In this paper, we prove that the new smooth penalty function for a constrained optimization problem is exact if and only if the standard nonsmooth…
We present a focused introduction to exact penalty methods for nonlinear programs and mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs), emphasizing their connection to modern error bound theory. The goal is twofold. First, we…
The goal of this article is to study necessary and sufficient conditions for the exactness of penalty functions and the existence of global saddle points of augmented Lagrangians for well-posed (in a suitable sense) constrained optimization…
We consider the general nonlinear optimization problem where the objective function has an additional term defined by the $ \ell_0 $-quasi-norm in order to promote sparsity of a solution. This problem is highly difficult due to its…
A new exact projective penalty method is proposed for the equivalent reduction of constrained optimization problems to nonsmooth unconstrained ones. In the method, the original objective function is extended to infeasible points by summing…
Cardinality-constrained optimization (CCO) is a popular topic in sparse learning and signal recovery, yet remains challenging due to the inherent nonconvexity and discontinuity of cardinality constraints. This paper investigates the exact…
The paper concerns optimization problems with general equality and inequality constraints and with constraints expressed by a convex set. In order to solve these problems, the general constraints are treated by an exact penalty functions…
In many settings, it is important that a model be capable of providing reasons for its predictions (i.e., the model must be interpretable). However, the model's reasoning may not conform with well-established knowledge. In such cases, while…
A simple bilevel variational problem where the lower level is a variational inequality while the upper level is an optimization problem is studied. We consider an inexact version of the lower problem, which guarantees enough regularity to…
We consider the nonlinear optimization problem with least $\ell_1$-norm measure of constraint violations and introduce the concepts of the D-stationary point, the DL-stationary point and the DZ-stationary point with the help of exact…
We present a so-called universal convergence theorem for inexact primal-dual penalty and augmented Lagrangian methods that can be applied to a large number of such methods and reduces their convergence analysis to verification of some…
We study the problem of approximation of 2D set of points. Such type of problems always occur in physical experiments, econometrics, data analysis and other areas. The often problems of outliers or spikes usually make researchers to apply…
