I will discuss the interesting features that drive the convergence guarantees for a set of adaptive stochastic algorithms that my collaborators and I have proposed for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. These algorithms are of the sequential quadratic optimization and interior-point varieties, and they operate in the fully stochastic regime in which we prove convergence-in-expectation and almost-sure-convergence guarantees.
