โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we propose a novel objective penalty function for inequality constrained optimization problems. The objective penalty function differs from any existing penalty function and also has two desired features: exactness and smoothness if the constraints and objective function are differentiable. An exact penalty result is proved for the objective penalty function. In addition to these results, based on the objective penalty function, we develop an algorithm for solving the original problem and show its convergence under some mild conditions.

Nonlinear integer programming problems with bounded feasible sets are considered. It is shown how the number of constraints in such problems can be reduced with the aid of an exact penalty function approach. This approach can be used to construct an equivalent unconstrained problem, or a problem wit
The paper describes a hybrid variable penalty method (in which the penalty functions are finite on the boundary of the constrained set) for solving a general nonlinear programming problem. The method combines two types of variable penalty functions to obtain a hybrid formulation in such a way that t
