Title
First- and Second-Order Necessary Conditions Via Exact Penalty Functions
Abstract
In this paper, we study first- and second-order necessary conditions for nonlinear programming problems from the viewpoint of exact penalty functions. By applying the variational description of regular subgradients, we first establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a penalty term to be of KKT-type by using the regular subdifferential of the penalty term. In terms of the kernel of the subderivative of the penalty term, we also present sufficient conditions for a penalty term to be of KKT-type. We then derive a second-order necessary condition by assuming a second-order constraint qualification, which requires that the second-order linearized tangent set is included in the closed convex hull of the kernel of the parabolic subderivative of the penalty term. In particular, for a penalty term with order $$\\frac{2}{3}$$23, by assuming the nonpositiveness of a sum of a second-order derivative and a third-order derivative of the original data and applying a third-order Taylor expansion, we obtain the second-order necessary condition.
