Abstract:
In this paper, we consider generalized augmented Lagrangian methods,
including a classical augmented Lagrangian method and some ``lower order'' augmented Lagrangian methods as special cases, for a mathematical program with only equality constraints. Since generalized augmented Lagrangians are in general not differentiable or even not locally Lipschitz, we carry out convergence analysis of first-order and second-order stationary points of generalized augmented Lagrangian methods by applying the Borwein-Preiss approximate smooth variational principle.
