The approach is based on the construction of p-factor operator. The main result of this theory gives a detailed description of the structure of the zero set of irregular nonlinear mappings. Applications include a new numerical method for solving nonlinear optimization problems and p-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. We substantiate the rate of convergence of p-factor method. }, doi = {10.4467/20838476SI.12.009.0819}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/schedae-informaticae/article/the-p-factor-method-for-nonlinear-optimization} }
