Power penalty multiplier limit

ID: power-penalty-multiplier-limit

At a stationary point of the power penalty, define the displayed multiplier estimates. Its stationarity equation becomes . If and these multipliers are bounded, then each . Along any convergent primal subsequence, a further multiplier subsequence converges and yields equality-constrained first-order KKT conditions at the limit. This is a statement about finite cluster points: bounded multipliers alone do not prove convergence or boundedness of the primal iterates.
