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…
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…
In this article we develop a theory of exact linear penalty functions that generalizes and unifies most of the results on exact penalization existing in the literature. We discuss several approaches to the study of both locally and globally…
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…
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…
We propose an implicit iterative algorithm for an exact penalty method arising from inequality constrained optimization problems. A rapidly convergent fixed point method is developed for a regularized penalty functional. The applicability…
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…
Penalty methods are a well known class of algorithms for constrained optimization. They transform a constrained problem into a sequence of unconstrained \emph{penalized} problems in the hope that approximate solutions of the latter converge…
Optimization with nonnegative orthogonality constraints has wide applications in machine learning and data sciences. It is NP-hard due to some combinatorial properties of the constraints. We first propose an equivalent optimization…
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,…
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 work, we consider a constrained convex problem with linear inequalities and provide an inexact penalty re-formulation of the problem. The novelty is in the choice of the penalty functions, which are smooth and can induce a non-zero…
The present paper contains some investigations about a uniform variant of the notion of metric hemiregularity, the latter being a less explored property obtained by weakening metric regularity. The introduction of such a quantitative…
We consider a general class of constrained optimization problems with an additional $\ell_0$- sparsity term in the objective function. Based on a recent reformulation of this difficult $\ell_0$-term, we consider a nonsmooth penalty approach…
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…
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…
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…
A class of exact penalty-type local search methods for optimal control problems with nonsmooth cost functional, nonsmooth (but continuous) dynamics, and nonsmooth state and control constraints is presented, in which the the penalty…
We consider a class of constrained optimization problems with a possibly nonconvex non-Lipschitz objective and a convex feasible set being the intersection of a polyhedron and a possibly degenerate ellipsoid. Such problems have a wide range…
This paper presents a twice continuously differentiable penalty function for nonlinear semidefinite programming problems. In some optimization methods, such as penalty methods and augmented Lagrangian methods, their convergence property can…
