文摘A mechanism for proving global convergence in filter-SQP (sequence of quadratic programming) method with the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) function is described for constrained nonlinear optimization problem.We introduce an NCP function into the filter and construct a new SQP-filter algorithm.Such methods are characterized by their use of the dominance concept of multi-objective optimization,instead of a penalty parameter whose adjustment can be problematic.We prove that the algorithm has global convergence and superlinear convergence rates under some mild conditions.
