On the Convergence of a Smooth Penalty Algorithm without Computing Global Solutions
We consider a smooth penalty algorithm to solve nonconvex optimization problem based on a family of smooth functions that approximate the usual exact penalty function. At each iteration in the algorithm we only need to find a stationary point of the smooth penalty function, so the difficulty of comp...
