A simple smoothed penalty algorithm is given, and its convergence is discussed. A practical algorithm to compute approximate optimal solution is given as well as computational experiments to demonstrate its efficiency. %K Constrained Optimization %K Penalty Function %K Smoothing Method %K Optimal Solution %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=96879
