Write a function to find the values of a design variable vector, x, that minimizes a scalar objective function, f, given a function handle to f, a starting guess, x0, subject to inequality and equality constraints with function handles g<=0 and h=0, respectively. Use a quadratic exterior penalty for the sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT) with an optional input vector of penalty parameter values that become increasingly larger.

Please, be aware that test cases don't necessarily use all the same penalty parameters. For instance, I have used 1e6 for cases 2,3,4 & 6 and 1e4 for cases 1 & 5. It all depends on which method one uses for the exterior penalty (and approximations may fail because of it).
In a sense, it is like trying to find the secret formula instead of finding the minimum value of a function.
