Abstract

With the integral approach to global optimization, a class of discontinuous penalty functions is proposed to solve constrained minimization problems. Optimality conditions of a penalized minimization problem are generalized to a discontinuous case; necessary and sufficient conditions for an exact penalty function are examined; a nonsequential algorithm is proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
