An efficient feasible SQP algorithm for inequality constrained optimization

Abstract

In this paper, an efficient feasible SQP method is proposed to solve nonlinear inequality constrained optimization problems. Here, a new modified method is presented to obtain the revised feasible descent direction. Per single iteration, it is only necessary to solve one QP subproblem and a system of linear equations with only a subset of the constraints estimated as active. In addition, its global and superlinear convergence are obtained under some suitable conditions.
