A line search filter inexact reduced Hessian method for nonlinear equality constrained optimization
Abstract
An inexact two-piece update of projected Hessian method is proposed for nonlinear equality constrained optimization using line search filter technique. Unlike most existing filter methods, our proposed method does not require that a second order correction to improve the search direction and present the Maratos effect. Global convergence properties of the proposed algorithm are analyzed, while the line search filter inexact reduced Hessian method has q-superlinear local convergence rate if at least one of the update formulae is updated at each iteration. Numerical results on a collection of test problems illustrate the practical behavior of the method.
