. This paper investigates quasi-Newton updates for equality-constrained optimization. Using a least-change argument we derive a class of rank-3 updates to approximations of the one-sided projection of the Hessian of the Lagrangian which keeps the appropriate part symmetric (and possibly positive definite). By imposing the usual assumptions we are able to prove 1-step superlinear convergence for one of these updates. Encouraging numerical results and comparisons with other previously analyzed updates are presented.
