RT Journal Article SR 00 ID 10.1080/02331938908843462 A1 Gilbert, J.-C. T1 On the local and global convergence of a reduced Quasi-Newton method1 JF Optimization YR 1989 FD 1989 VO 20 IS 4 SP 421 OP 450 AB In optimization in Rn with m nonlinear equality constraints, we study the local convergence of reduced quasi-newton methods, in which the updated matrix is of order n–m. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for superlinear convergence (in one step) and we introduce a device to globalize the local algorithm. It consists in determining a step along an arc in order to decrease an exact penalty function and we give conditions so that asymptotically the step-size will be equal to one. © 1989, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
