Abstract

A penalty approach method has been used to deal with a cone constrained minimization problem on complete metric spaces in this paper. By exploring Ekeland's variational principle, the property of $\mu$-function and some new technique, approximate solutions of the unconstrained penalized problem for some penalty parameter have been established, and then approximate solutions of the cone constrained optimization have been obtained without assuming that the constrained function is convex and the objective function satisfies the coercive condition.
