exact penalty function. The search direction for the penalty function minimization is determined by solving a strictly convex quadratic programming (QP) problem. Here, we make the basic SQP algorithm more robust (i) by solving a relaxed, strictly convex, QP problem in cases where the constraints are inconsistent, (ii) by performing a non-monotone line search to improve efficiency, and (iii) by using second-order corrections to avoid the Maratos effect. The robustness of the algorithm is demonstrated via a C language implementation that is applied to numerous parameter optimization and optimal control problems that have appeared in the literature. The results obtained show that both non-monotone line searches and second-order corrections can significantly reduce the amount of work required to solve parameter optimization problems. |
