Abstract

In recent years an increasing attention has been devoted to the use of nondifferentiable exact penalty functions for the solution of nonlinear programming problems. However, as pointed out in [22], virtually all the published literature on exact penalty functions treats one of two cases: either the nonlinear programming problem is a convex problem (see, e.g., [2], [18], [23]), or it is a smooth problem (see, e.g., [1], [3–5], [10–13], [16], [18–20]). Exact penalty functions for nonlinear programming problems neither convex nor smooth, have been considered in [6], [21], [22], where locally lipschitz problems are dealt with.
