Abstract

This paper looks at the numerical characteristics of penalty methods for evaluating the solution of symmetric systems of equations with imposed constraints. The sources of error resulting from this approach are identified and an estimate for the penalty parameter that minimizes this error is obtained. The results of the error analysis and the effect of penalty parameter on the accuracy and rates of convergence of the solution algorithm are demonstrated with the aid of some numerical examples.
