This inexact method is designed to solve large scale problems. The iterative solution technique uses an orthogonal projection - Krylov subspace scheme to solve the highly indefinite and nonsymmetric linear systems associated with nonlinear programming. Our iterative method is a projection method that maintains linearized feasibility with respect to both the equality constraints and the complementarity conditions. This guarantees that in each iteration the linear solver generates a descent direction, so that the iterative solver is not required to find a Newton step but rather cheaply provides a way to march toward an optimal solution of the problem. This makes the use of a preconditioner inconsequential except near the solution of the problem, where the Newton step is effective. Moreover, we limit the problem to finding a good preconditioner only for the Hessian of the Lagrangian function associated with the problem plus a positive diagonal matrix. We report numerical experimentation for several large scale problems to illustrate the viability of the method.28 ppengTechnical reportTR97-16
