An SQP Algorithm for Structural Topology Optimization Based on Majorization–Minimization Method

When applying the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm to topology optimization, using the quasi-Newton methods or calculating the Hessian matrix directly will result in a considerable amount of calculation, making it computationally infeasible when the number of optimization variables i...
