We propose two limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) trust-region methods for large-scale optimization with linear equality constraints. Here, the methods are intended for problems where the number of equality constraints is small. By exploiting the structure of the quasi-Newton compact representation, both proposed methods solve the trust-region subproblems nearly exactly, even for large problems. We derive theoretical global convergence results of the proposed algorithms, and compare their numerical effectiveness and performance on a variety of large-scale problems.
