The problem of minimizing a function f ( x) : R(J) -> R, subject to constraints on the vector variable x, occurs frequently in inverse problems. Even without constraints, finding a minimizer of f ( x) may require iterative methods. We consider here a general class of iterative algorithms that find a solution to the constrained minimization problem as the limit of a sequence of vectors, each solving an unconstrained minimization problem. Our sequential unconstrained minimization algorithm ( SUMMA) is an iterative procedure for constrained minimization. At the kth step we minimize the functionG(k)( x) = f ( x) + g(k)( x),to obtain x(k). The auxiliary functions g(k)( x) : D subset of R(J) -> R(+) are nonnegative on the set D, each xk is assumed to lie within D, and the objective is to minimize the continuous function f : R(J) -> R over x in the set C = (D) over bar, the closure of D. We assume that such minimizers exist, and denote one such by (x) over cap. We assume that the functions g(k)(x) satisfy the inequalities0
