[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} g_L(x,y,\rho) &= g_0(x) - J(x)^T \hat{y}, \label{eqn-AL1} \\ H_L(x,y,\rho) &= H_0(x) - {\textstyle\sum} \hat{y}_i H_i(x) + \rho J(x)^T J(x), \label{eqn-AL2} \\ \hat{y} &\equiv y - \rho c(x). \label{eqn-AL3} \end{align} }[/math]

    • The augmented Lagrangian method for solving problem NEC proceeds by choosing [math]\displaystyle{ y }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \rho }[/math] judiciously and then minimizing $L(x,y,\rho)$ as a function of [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math]. The resulting [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] is used to choose a new [math]\displaystyle{ y }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \rho }[/math], and the process repeats. The auxiliary vector $\yhat$ simplifies the above notation and proves to be useful in its own right.
