Algorithm NCL is designed for general smooth optimization problems where first and second derivatives are available, including problems whose constraints may not be linearly independent at a solution (i.e., do not satisfy the LICQ). It is equivalent to the LANCELOT augmented Lagrangian method, reformulated as a short sequence of nonlinearly constrained subproblems that can be solved efficiently by IPOPT and KNITRO, with warm starts on each subproblem. We give numerical results from a Julia implementation of Algorithm NCL on tax policy models that do not satisfy the LICQ, and on nonlinear least-squares problems and general problems from the CUTEst test set.

This technical note proposes the decentralized-partial-consensus optimization with inequality constraints, and a continuous-time algorithm based on multiple interconnected recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is derived to solve the obtained optimization
problems. First, the partial-consensus matrix originating from Laplacian matrix is constructed to tackle the partial-consensus constraints. In addition, using the non-smooth analysis and Lyapunov-based technique, the convergence property about the designed algorithm is further guaranteed. Finally, the effectiveness of the obtained results is shown while several examples are presented.
We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function that may be nonsmooth and nonconvex, subject to bound constraints. We propose an algorithm that uses the L-BFGS quasi-Newton approximation of the problems curvature together with a variant o
f the weak Wolfe line search. The key ingredient of the method is an active-set selection strategy that defines the subspace in which search directions are computed. To overcome the inherent shortsightedness of the gradient for a nonsmooth function, we propose two strategies. The first relies on an approximation of the $epsilon$-minimum norm subgradient, and the second uses an iterative corrective loop that augments the active set based on the resulting search directions. We describe a Python implementation of the proposed algorithm and present numerical results on a set of standard test problems to illustrate the efficacy of our approach.
In this paper, an inexact proximal-point penalty method is studied for constrained optimization problems, where the objective function is non-convex, and the constraint functions can also be non-convex. The proposed method approximately solves a sequ
ence of subproblems, each of which is formed by adding to the original objective function a proximal term and quadratic penalty terms associated to the constraint functions. Under a weak-convexity assumption, each subproblem is made strongly convex and can be solved effectively to a required accuracy by an optimal gradient-based method. The computational complexity of the proposed method is analyzed separately for the cases of convex constraint and non-convex constraint. For both cases, the complexity results are established in terms of the number of proximal gradient steps needed to find an $varepsilon$-stationary point. When the constraint functions are convex, we show a complexity result of $tilde O(varepsilon^{-5/2})$ to produce an $varepsilon$-stationary point under the Slaters condition. When the constraint functions are non-convex, the complexity becomes $tilde O(varepsilon^{-3})$ if a non-singularity condition holds on constraints and otherwise $tilde O(varepsilon^{-4})$ if a feasible initial solution is available.
A sequential quadratic optimization algorithm is proposed for solving smooth nonlinear equality constrained optimization problems in which the objective function is defined by an expectation of a stochastic function. The algorithmic structure of the
proposed method is based on a step decomposition strategy that is known in the literature to be widely effective in practice, wherein each search direction is computed as the sum of a normal step (toward linearized feasibility) and a tangential step (toward objective decrease in the null space of the constraint Jacobian). However, the proposed method is unique from others in the literature in that it both allows the use of stochastic objective gradient estimates and possesses convergence guarantees even in the setting in which the constraint Jacobians may be rank deficient. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate that the algorithm offers superior performance when compared to popular alternatives.
Considering the constrained stochastic optimization problem over a time-varying random network, where the agents are to collectively minimize a sum of objective functions subject to a common constraint set, we investigate asymptotic properties of a d
istributed algorithm based on dual averaging of gradients. Different from most existing works on distributed dual averaging algorithms that mainly concentrating on their non-asymptotic properties, we not only prove almost sure convergence and the rate of almost sure convergence, but also asymptotic normality and asymptotic efficiency of the algorithm. Firstly, for general constrained convex optimization problem distributed over a random network, we prove that almost sure consensus can be archived and the estimates of agents converge to the same optimal point. For the case of linear constrained convex optimization, we show that the mirror map of the averaged dual sequence identifies the active constraints of the optimal solution with probability 1, which helps us to prove the almost sure convergence rate and then establish asymptotic normality of the algorithm. Furthermore, we also verify that the algorithm is asymptotically optimal. To the best of our knowledge, it seems to be the first asymptotic normality result for constrained distributed optimization algorithms. Finally, a numerical example is provided to justify the theoretical analysis.
