TY - JOUR TI - The p-Factor Method for Nonlinear Optimization AU - Szczepanik, Ewa AU - Prusińska, Agnieszka AU - Tret’yakov, Alexey TI - The p-Factor Method for Nonlinear Optimization AB - We present the main concept and results of the p-regularity theory (also known as p-factor analysis of nonlinear mappings) applied to nonlinear optimization problems. 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.  VL - 2012 IS - Volume 21 PY - 2012 SN - 1732-3916 C1 - 2083-8476 SP - 141 EP - 157 DO - 10.4467/20838476SI.12.009.0819 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/schedae-informaticae/article/the-p-factor-method-for-nonlinear-optimization KW - nonlinear optimization KW - p-factor operator KW - p-regularity KW - kernel KW - singularity KW - convergence KW - necessary and sucient conditions
