Abstract.The geometric programming is a special kind of nonlinear programming, and is widely used in the engineering design, production management, chemical process and so on. A new type interior-conjugate gradient mix-method is proposed for constrained positive geometric programming. First, the constrained positive geometric programming is transformed into an equally unconstrained geometric programming problem using interior penalty function method. Then particular parameters $\beta_k$ are constructed based on conjugate gradient method. It is proved that the method is globally convergent.
