Abstract
An augmented Lagrangian method with second-order update is developed a nd its relationship to the sequential quadratic programming method is described. The rate of convergence proof depends on a second-order suf ficient optimality condition, which is shown to be satisfied for a cla ss of nonlinear optimal control problems of tracking type. Numerical e xamples are included which demonstrate the globalizing effect of the a ugmented Lagrangian method.
