%0 Report %9 IIASA Working Paper %A Kiwiel, K. %C IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria %D 1994 %F iiasa:4197 %T A Note on the Twice Differentiable Cubic Augmented Lagrangian %U https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/4197/ %X Rockafellar's quadratic augmented Lagrangian for inequality constrained minimization is not twice differentiable. To eliminate this drawback, several quite complicated Lagrangians have been proposed. We exhibit a simple cubic Lagrangian that is twice differentiable. It stems from the recent work of Eckstein and Teboulle on Bregman-related Lagrangians.
