Abstract

We propose a line search exact penalty method with bi-object strategy for nonlinear semidefinite programming. At each iteration, we solve a linear semidefinite programming to test whether the linearized constraints are consistent or not. The search direction is generated by a piecewise quadratic-linear model of the exact penalty function. The penalty parameter is only related to the information of the current iterate point. The line search strategy is a penalty-free one. Global and local convergence are analyzed under suitable conditions. We finally report some numerical experiments to illustrate the behavior of the algorithm on various degeneracy situations.
