A globally convergent algorithm based on the stabilized sequential quadratic programming (sSQP) method is presented in order to solve optimization problems with equality constraints and bounds. This formulation has attractive features in the sense that constraint qualifications are not needed at...

In this paper, we present a primal-dual interior-point method for solving nonlinear programming problems. It employs a Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) perturbation to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) matrix to handle indefinite Hessians and a line search to obtain sufficient descent at each iteration. We...

In this paper, we discuss the solution of linear and quadratic eigenvalue complementarity problems (EiCPs) using an enumerative algorithm of the type introduced by Júdice et al. (Optim. Methods Softw. 24:549–586, <CitationRef CitationID="CR1">2009</CitationRef>). Procedures for computing the interval that contains all the eigenvalues...</citationref>

The NP-hard nature of cardinality constrained mean-variance portfolio optimization problems has led to a number of different algorithms with varying degrees of success in reaching optimality given limited computational resources and under the presence of strict time constraints present in...

The Constraint Consensus method moves quickly from an initial infeasible point to a point that is close to feasibility for a set of nonlinear constraints. It is a useful first step prior to launching an expensive local solver, improving the probability that the local solver will find a solution...
