Modified modulus‐based matrix splitting iteration methods for linear complementarity problems

For solving the large sparse linear complementarity problems, we establish modified modulus‐based matrix splitting iteration methods and present the convergence analysis when the system matrices are H₊‐matrices. The optima of parameters involved under some scopes are also analyzed. Numerical results show that in computing efficiency, our new methods are superior to classical modulus‐based matrix splitting iteration methods under suitable conditions.

Additive preconditioning, eigenspaces, and the inverse iteration

We incorporate our recent preconditioning techniques into the classical inverse power (Rayleigh quotient) iteration for computing matrix eigenvectors. Every loop of this iteration essentially amounts to solving an ill conditioned linear system of equations. Due to our modification we solve a well conditioned linear system instead. We prove that this modification preserves local quadratic convergence, show experimentally that fast global convergence is preserved as well, and yield similar results for higher order inverse iteration, covering the cases of multiple and clustered eigenvalues.     

Modulus‐based matrix splitting iteration methods for linear complementarity problems

For the large sparse linear complementarity problems, by reformulating them as implicit fixed‐point equations based on splittings of the system matrices, we establish a class of modulus‐based matrix splitting iteration methods and prove their convergence when the system matrices are positive‐definite matrices and H₊‐matrices. These results naturally present convergence conditions for the symmetric positive‐definite matrices and the M‐matrices. Numerical results show that the modulus‐based relaxation methods are superior to the projected relaxation methods as well as the modified modulus method in computing efficiency.

Increasing efficiency of inverse iteration

Inverse iteration is simple but not very efficient method for computing few eigenvalues with minimal absolute values and corresponding eigenvectors of a symmetric matrix. The idea is to increase its efficiency by technique similar to multigrid methods used for solving linear systems. This approach is not new, but until now multigrid was mostly used for solving linear system which appear in Rayleigh quotient iteration, inverse iteration and related iterative methods. Instead of choosing appropriate coordinates (grids), our algorithm performs inverse iteration on a sequence of subspaces with decreasing dimensions (multispace). Block Lanczos method is used for the selection of a smaller subspace. This will produce a banded matrix, which makes inverse iteration even faster in the smaller dimensions.      

On HSS-based iteration methods for weakly nonlinear systems

Based on separable property of the linear and the nonlinear terms and on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting of the coefficient matrix, we present the Picard-HSS and the nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods for solving a class of large scale systems of weakly nonlinear equations. The advantage of these methods over the Newton and the Newton-HSS iteration methods is that they do not require explicit construction and accurate computation of the Jacobian matrix, and only need to solve linear sub-systems of constant coefficient matrices. Hence, computational workloads and computer memory may be saved in actual implementations. Under suitable conditions, we establish local convergence theorems for both Picard-HSS and nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods. Numerical implementations show that both Picard-HSS and nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods are feasible, effective, and robust nonlinear solvers for this class of large scale systems of weakly nonlinear equations.     

Non-Interior Continuation Method for Solving the Monotone Semidefinite Complementarity Problem

Recently, Chen and Tseng extended non-interior continuation/ smooth- ing methods for solving linear/ nonlinear complementarity problems to semidefinite complementarity problems (SDCP). In this paper we propose a non-interior continuation method for solving the monotone SDCP based on the smoothed Fischer—Burmeister function, which is shown to be globally linearly and locally quadratically convergent under suitable assumptions. Our algorithm needs at most to solve a linear system of equations at each iteration. In addition, in our analysis on global linear convergence of the algorithm, we need not use the assumption that the Fréchet derivative of the function involved in the SDCP is Lipschitz continuous. For non-interior continuation/ smoothing methods for solving the nonlinear complementarity problem, such an assumption has been used widely in the literature in order to achieve global linear convergence results of the algorithms.

Diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration methods for diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz linear systems from spatial fractional diffusion equations

The finite difference discretization of the spatial fractional diffusion equations gives discretized linear systems whose coefficient matrices have a diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz structure. For solving these diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz linear systems, we construct a class of diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration methods and establish its unconditional convergence theory. In particular, we derive a sharp upper bound about its asymptotic convergence rate and deduct the optimal value of its iteration parameter. The diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration method naturally leads to a diagonal and circulant splitting preconditioner. Analysis shows that the eigenvalues of the corresponding preconditioned matrix are clustered around 1, especially when the discretization step‐size h is small. Numerical results exhibit that the diagonal and circulant splitting preconditioner can significantly improve the convergence properties of GMRES and BiCGSTAB, and these preconditioned Krylov subspace iteration methods outperform the conjugate gradient method preconditioned by the approximate inverse circulant‐plus‐diagonal preconditioner proposed recently by Ng and Pan (M.K. Ng and J.‐Y. Pan, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 2010;32:1442‐1464). Moreover, unlike this preconditioned conjugate gradient method, the preconditioned GMRES and BiCGSTAB methods show h‐independent convergence behavior even for the spatial fractional diffusion equations of discontinuous or big‐jump coefficients.     

Two-step modulus-based matrix splitting iteration method for linear complementarity problems

Bai has recently presented a modulus-based matrix splitting iteration method, which is a powerful alternative for solving the large sparse linear complementarity problems. In this paper, we further present a two-step modulus-based matrix splitting iteration method, which consists of a forward and a backward sweep. Its convergence theory is proved when the system matrix is an H ₊-matrix. Moreover, for the two-step modulus-based relaxation iteration methods, more exact convergence domains are obtained without restriction on the Jacobi matrix associated with the system matrix, which improve the existing convergence theory. Numerical results show that the two-step modulus-based relaxation iteration methods are superior to the modulus-based relaxation iteration methods for solving the large sparse linear complementarity problems.     

A non-interior continuation method for second-order cone programming

We extend the smoothing function proposed by Huang, Han and Chen [Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 117 (2003), pp. 39–68] for the non-linear complementarity problems to the second-order cone programming (SOCP). Based on this smoothing function, a non-interior continuation method is presented for solving the SOCP. The proposed algorithm solves only one linear system of equations and performs only one line search at each iteration. It is shown that our algorithm is globally and locally superlinearly convergent in absence of strict complementarity at the optimal solution. Numerical results indicate the effectiveness of the algorithm.     

An iterative approach for cone complementarity problems for nonsmooth dynamics

Aiming at a fast and robust simulation of large multibody systems with contacts and friction, this work presents a novel method for solving large cone complementarity problems by means of a fixed-point iteration. The method is an extension of the Gauss-Seidel and Gauss-Jacobi method with overrelaxation for symmetric convex linear complementarity problems. The method is proved to be convergent under fairly standard assumptions and is shown by our tests to scale well up to 500,000 contact points and more than two millions of unknowns.     

A nonmonotone smoothing Newton method for circular cone programming

The circular cone programming (CCP) problem is to minimize or maximize a linear function over the intersection of an affine space with the Cartesian product of circular cones. In this paper, we study nondegeneracy and strict complementarity for the CCP, and present a nonmonotone smoothing Newton method for solving the CCP. We reformulate the CCP as a second-order cone programming (SOCP) problem using the algebraic relation between the circular cone and the second-order cone. Then based on a one parametric class of smoothing functions for the SOCP, a smoothing Newton method is developed for the CCP by adopting a new nonmonotone line search scheme. Without restrictions regarding its starting point, our algorithm solves one linear system of equations approximately and performs one line search at each iteration. Under mild assumptions, our algorithm is shown to possess global and local quadratic convergence properties. Some preliminary numerical results illustrate that our nonmonotone smoothing Newton method is promising for solving the CCP.

Anderson accelerated fixed-point iteration for multilinear PageRank

In this paper, we apply the Anderson acceleration technique to the existing relaxation fixed-point iteration for solving the multilinear PageRank. In order to reduce computational cost, we further consider the periodical version of the Anderson acceleration. The convergence of the proposed algorithms is discussed. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets are performed to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithms over the relaxation fixed-point iteration and the extrapolated shifted fixed-point method. In particular, we give a strategy for choosing the quasi-optimal parameters of the associated algorithms when they are applied to solve the test problems with different sizes but the same structure.

A new one‐step smoothing newton method for the second‐order cone complementarity problem

In this paper, we present a new one‐step smoothing Newton method for solving the second‐order cone complementarity problem (SOCCP). Based on a new smoothing function, the SOCCP is approximated by a family of parameterized smooth equations. At each iteration, the proposed algorithm only need to solve one system of linear equations and perform only one Armijo‐type line search. The algorithm is proved to be convergent globally and superlinearly without requiring strict complementarity at the SOCCP solution. Moreover, the algorithm has locally quadratic convergence under mild conditions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the new algorithm.
