An alternative hierarchical optimization algorithm obtained by combining a double-loop iterative strategy with an efficient coordination task is proposed. The new algorithm derived from the tracking method (Sidaouiet al. 1989, 1991) is applicable to non-convex problems and has the advantage of giving a better rate of convergence. Simulation results are given and compared with the original algorithm, indicating the superiority of the new approach for the example considered.
