Abstract:
The method of moving asymptotes is known to work well for certain problems 
arising in structural optimization.  A new method of moving asymptotes with 
trust region technique is proposed  for solving general nonlinear programming 
problem.  In this method, a convex subproblem is solved by a dual method at 
each iterate and the choice of asymptotes is controlled by the trust region 
radius.  The global convergence  of the algorithm is proved under the mild 
condition.
