This project focuses on the use of nonsmooth penalty                    functions in nonlinear programming methods, in particular in the                areas of semi-infinite programming, complex linear approximation                in the nor l-one and constrained optimal control.  Penalty                      functions usually have complicated structure, or else are                       nonsmooth, making it necessary to devise special techniques for                 their minimization.  The investigator plans to extend and apply                 known algorithms to some new areas of nonlinear programming.                    Four areas will be investigated from this point of view:  complex               l-one approximations, inexactness of the second-order correction                method, semi-infinite programming and discretized optimal control               problems.  Algorithmic questions will be addressed, and numerical               experiments will be performed on a supercomputer.                                       This research falls into the general area of nonlinear                  programming and computational optimization which has numerous                   applications in engineering and management science.
