Some Exact Penalty Results for Nonlinear Programs and Their Applications to Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints
by Gui-Hua Lin and Masao Fukushima
Recently, some exact penalty results for nonlinear programs, especially for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints were proved by Luo, Pang, and Ralph. In this paper, we will show that those results remain valid under some other mild conditions. Especially, one of these conditions, called strong convexity with order $\sigma$, is discussed in detail.
