The convergence behaviour of a class of iterative methods for solving the constrained minimization problem is analysed. The methods are based on the sequential minimization of a simple differentiable penalty function. They are sufficiently general to ensure global convergence of the iterates to the solution of the problem at an asymptotic (two-step Q-) superlinear rate.
