A multiplier active-set trust-region algorithm for solving constrained optimization problem. (English) Zbl 1320.90080

Summary: A new trust-region algorithm for solving a constrained optimization problem is introduced. In this algorithm, an active set strategy is used together with multiplier method to convert the computation of the trial step to easy trust-region subproblem similar to this for the unconstrained case. A convergence theory for this algorithm is presented. Under reasonable assumptions, it is shown that the algorithm is globally convergent. In particular, it is shown that, in the limit, a subsequence of the iteration sequence satisfies one of four types of stationary conditions. Namely, the infeasible Mayer-Bliss conditions, Fritz John’s conditions, the infeasible Fritz John’s conditions or KKT conditions.{ }Preliminary numerical experiment on the algorithm is presented. The performance of the algorithm is reported. The numerical results show that our approach is of value and merit further investigation.
