An Liu-Storey-Type Method for Solving Large-Scale Nonlinear Monotone Equations

An algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations is proposed, which combines a modified Liu-Storey conjugate gradient method with hyperplane projection method. Under mild conditions, the global convergence of the proposed method is established with a suitable line search method. The method can be applied to solve large-scale problems for its lower storage requirement. Numerical results indicate that our method is efficient.     

A globally convergent BFGS method for nonlinear monotone equations without any merit functions

Since 1965, there has been significant progress in the theoretical study on quasi-Newton methods for solving nonlinear equations, especially in the local convergence analysis. However, the study on global convergence of quasi-Newton methods is relatively fewer, especially for the BFGS method. To ensure global convergence, some merit function such as the squared norm merit function is typically used. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations, which combines the BFGS method and the hyperplane projection method. We also prove that the proposed BFGS method converges globally if the equation is monotone and Lipschitz continuous without differentiability requirement on the equation, which makes it possible to solve some nonsmooth equations. An attractive property of the proposed method is that its global convergence is independent of any merit function.We also report some numerical results to show efficiency of the proposed method.

High-order accurate monotone difference schemes for solving gasdynamic problems by Godunov’s method with antidiffusion

An approach to the construction of high-order accurate monotone difference schemes for solving gasdynamic problems by Godunov’s method with antidiffusion is proposed. Godunov’s theorem on monotone schemes is used to construct a new antidiffusion flux limiter in high-order accurate difference schemes as applied to linear advection equations with constant coefficients. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated by solving linear advection equations with constant coefficients and one-dimensional gasdynamic equations.     

Numerical solutions of coupled systems of nonlinear elliptic equations

This article deals with numerical solutions of a general class of coupled nonlinear elliptic equations. Using the method of upper and lower solutions, monotone sequences are constructed for difference schemes which approximate coupled systems of nonlinear elliptic equations. This monotone convergence leads to existence‐uniqueness theorems for solutions to problems with reaction functions of quasi‐monotone nondecreasing, quasi‐monotone nonincreasing and mixed quasi‐monotone types. A monotone domain decomposition algorithm which combines the monotone approach and an iterative domain decomposition method based on the Schwarz alternating, is proposed. An application to a reaction‐diffusion model in chemical engineering is given. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 28: 621–640, 2012

A globally convergent derivative-free method for solving large-scale nonlinear monotone equations

In this paper, we propose two derivative-free iterative methods for solving nonlinear monotone equations, which combines two modified HS methods with the projection method in Solodov and Svaiter (1998) [5].

Under mild conditions, we show that the proposed methods are globally convergent. The reported numerical results show that the methods are efficient.     

A New Decomposition Method for Variational Inequalities with Linear Constraints

We propose a new decomposition method for solving a class of monotone variational inequalities with linear constraints. The proposed method needs only to solve a well-conditioned system of nonlinear equations, which is much easier than a variational inequality, the subproblem in the classic alternating direction methods. To make the method more flexible and practical, we solve the sub-problems approximately. We adopt a self-adaptive rule to adjust the parameter, which can improve the numerical performance of the algorithm. Under mild conditions, the underlying mapping be monotone and the solution set of the problem be nonempty, we prove the global convergence of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we report some preliminary computational results, which demonstrate the promising performance of the new algorithm.
