2Lagrangian approximate subproblem formulation
3Description::
4For SBL problems with nonlinear constraints, a number of algorithm
5formulations exist as described in \cite Eld06b
6and as summarized in the Advanced Examples section of
7the Models chapter of the Users Manual \cite UsersMan.
8First, the "primary" functions (that is, the objective
9functions or calibration terms) in the approximate subproblem can be
10selected to be surrogates of the original primary functions (\c
11original_primary), a single objective function (\c single_objective)
12formed from the primary function surrogates, or either an augmented
13Lagrangian merit function (\c augmented_lagrangian_objective) or a
14Lagrangian merit function (\c lagrangian_objective) formed from the
15primary and secondary function surrogates.  The former option may
16imply the use of a nonlinear least squares method, a multiobjective
17optimization method, or a single objective optimization method to
18solve the approximate subproblem, depending on the definition of the
19primary functions.  The latter three options all imply the use of a
20single objective optimization method regardless of primary function
21definition.
