A trust region SQP-filter method for nonlinear second-order cone programming

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear second-order cone programming problem. By combining an SQP method and filter technique, we present a trust region SQP-filter method for solving this problem. The proposed algorithm avoids using the classical merit function with penalty term. Furthermore, under standard assumptions, we prove that the iterative sequence generated by the presented algorithm converges globally. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the algorithm is promising.
