摘要
In this paper, we consider a class of nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problem with an abstract constraint. We propose an augmented Lagrangian method for solving the problem and construct global convergence under a weakly nonsmooth Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification. We show that any accumulation point of the iteration sequence generated by the algorithm is a feasible point which satisfies the first order necessary optimality condition provided that the penalty parameters are bounded and the upper bound of the augmented Lagrangian functions along the approximated solution sequence exists. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm is efficient for obtaining stationary points of general nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems, including the bilevel program which will never satisfy the nonsmooth Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification.
