AbstractThis paper describes an optimization algorithm based on a special convex approximation technique and a robust numerical solution procedure. The employed approximation technique involves automatic adjustability in order to ensure good convergence properties. Additionally, it guaranties convexity and a special form of the approximate problems. Consequently, these problems can be transformed into very simple and quasi‐unconstrained dual problems which are solved by a robust and reliable numerical solution procedure. A few examples illustrate the use of the algorithm. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
