Abstract

By adding one variable to the equality- or inequality-constrained minimization problems, a new simple penalty function is proposed. It is proved to be exact in the sense that under mild assumptions, the local minimizers of this penalty function are precisely the local minimizers of the original problem, when the penalty parameter is sufficiently large.
