Summary

We consider the interior penalty methods based on the logarithmic and inverse barriers. Under the Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification and appropriate growth conditions on the objective function, we derive computable estimates for the distance from the subproblem solution to the solution of the original problem. Some of those estimates are shown to be sharp.
