Abstract
Let f,g : X × Rn → R be continuously differentiable functions of their parameters, and consider the problem
where X ⊂ RN is a Cartesian product of closed intervals, and the norm is the Ll norm defined on X . A globally convergent method is given for this problem, based on the use of an exact penalty function, and capable of converging at a second order rate if exact second derivative information is also available. For the particular case of the unconstrained problem, and when X is an interval of the real line, an algorithm is presented, and the effectiveness of this is illustrated by the numerical solution of a number of nonlinear problems.
