Query: Solving Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints as Nonlinear
  Programming: A New Framework   We present a new framework for the solution of mathematical programs with
equilibrium constraints (MPECs). In this algorithmic framework, an MPECs is
viewed as a concentration of an unconstrained optimization which minimizes the
complementarity measure and a nonlinear programming with general constraints. A
strategy generalizing ideas of Byrd-Omojokun's trust region method is used to
compute steps. By penalizing the tangential constraints into the objective
function, we circumvent the problem of not satisfying MFCQ. A trust-funnel-like
strategy is used to balance the improvements on feasibility and optimality. We
show that, under MPEC-MFCQ, if the algorithm does not terminate in finite
steps, then at least one accumulation point of the iterates sequence is an
S-stationary point.
