TY - JOUR A1 - Hintermüller, Michael A1 - Surowiec, Thomas T1 - A Bundle-Free Implicit Programming Approach for a Class of MPECs in Function Space T2 - Mathematical Programming N2 - Using a standard first-order optimality condition for nonsmooth optimization prob- lems, a general framework for a descent method is developed. This setting is applied to a class of mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints in function space from which a new algorithm is derived. Global convergence of the algorithm is demonstrated in function space and the results are then illustrated by numerical experiments.
