Abstract

This paper presents two new theorems for establishing the convergence properties of multi-step constrained optimization algorithms with antijamming features. The theorems extend earlier results of Polak and Klessig and are based on a transcription of multi-step methods into one-step methods in a higher-dimensional space.
