Title
Complexity Analysis of a Trust Funnel Algorithm for Equality Constrained Optimization.
Abstract
A method is proposed for solving equality constrained nonlinear optimization problems involving twice continuously differentiable functions. The method employs a trust funnel approach consisting of two phases: a first phase to locate an epsilon-feasible point and a second phase to seek optimality while maintaining at least epsilon-feasibility. Two-phase approaches of this kind based on a cubic regularization methodology have recently been proposed along with supporting worst-case iteration complexity analyses. Notably, in these approaches, the objective function is completely ignored in the first phase when epsilon-feasibility is sought. The main contribution of the method proposed in this paper is that the same worst-case iteration complexity is achieved, but with a first phase that also accounts for improvements in the objective function. As such, the method attempts to put significantly less burden on the second phase for seeking optimality.
