When general constraints
are present, a sequence of augmented Lagrangian
functions are (approximately) optimized until the solution
to the original problem is determined. At the end of each
(approximate) optimization, either the penalty parameter is reduced or
improved Lagrange multiplier
estimates are accepted. The method is
designed so that ultimately only the latter possibility may occur.
When the algorithm is far from the solution to the original problem,
there may not be any point in accepting Lagrange multiplier estimates
as they may be very inaccurate and it may be preferable to reduce the
penalty parameter instead.
If the user includes the DECREASE-PENALTY-PARAMETER-UNTIL< keyword, no multiplier estimates will be accepted until the penalty parameter has been reduced to below the real value following the keyword. Likewise, no multiplier estimates will be accepted until the norms of the projected gradients and constraints are smaller than the values following the keywords FIRST-CONSTRAINT-ACCURACY-REQUIRED and FIRST-GRADIENT-ACCURACY-REQUIRED respectively.
