A quasi-filled function for nonlinear integer programming problem is given in this paper. This function contains two parameters which are easily to be chosen. Theoretical properties of the proposed quasi-filled function are investigated. Moreover, we also propose a new solution algorithm using this quasi-filled function to solve nonlinear integer programming problem in this paper. The examples with 2 to 6 variables are tested and computational results indicated the efficiency and reliability of the pro- posed quasi-filled function algorithm.
A mechanism for proving global convergence in filter-SQP (sequence of quadratic programming) method with the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) function is described for constrained nonlinear optimization problem.We introduce an NCP function into the filter and construct a new SQP-filter algorithm.Such methods are characterized by their use of the dominance concept of multi-objective optimization,instead of a penalty parameter whose adjustment can be problematic.We prove that the algorithm has global convergence and superlinear convergence rates under some mild conditions.
