    A Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm designed to efficiently solve nonlinear optimization problems with many inequality constraints, e.g. problems arising from finely discretized Semi-Infinite Programming, is described and analyzed. The key features of the algorithm are (i) that only a few of the constraints are used in the QP sub-problems at each iteration, and (ii) that every iterate satisfies all constraints. 1 INTRODUCTION Consider the Semi-Infinite Programming (SIP) problem minimize f(x) subject to \Phi(x) 0; (SI) where f : IR n ! IR is continuously differentiable, and \Phi : IR n ! IR is defined by \Phi(x) \Delta = sup ¸2[0;1] OE(x; ¸); with OE : IR n \Theta [0; 1] ! IR continuously differentiable in the first argument. For an excellent survey of the theory behind the problem (SI), in addition to some algorithms and applications, see [9] as well as the other papers in the present volume.
