The new algorithm does not have to solve the second order correction subproblems for each iterations, but still can circumvent the so-called Maratos effect. The algorithm’s global convergence and superlinear convergent rate have been proved. In addition,we can prove that, after a few iterations, correction subproblems need not be solved,so computation amount of the algorithm will be decreased much more. Numericalexperiments show that the new algorithm is effective.展开更多
