Solution Sets of Quadratic Complementarity Problems

In this paper, we study quadratic complementarity problems, which form a subclass of nonlinear complementarity problems with the nonlinear functions being quadratic polynomial mappings. Quadratic complementarity problems serve as an important bridge linking linear complementarity problems and nonlinear complementarity problems. Various properties on the solution set for a quadratic complementarity problem, including existence, compactness and uniqueness, are studied. Several results are established from assumptions given in terms of the comprising matrices of the underlying tensor, henceforth easily checkable. Examples are given to demonstrate that the results improve or generalize the corresponding quadratic complementarity problem counterparts of the well-known nonlinear complementarity problem theory and broaden the boundary knowledge of nonlinear complementarity problems as well.     

The Generic Stability and Existence of Essentially Connected Components of Solutions for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems

The aim of this paper is to develop the general generic stability theory for nonlinear complementarity problems in the setting of infinite dimensional Banach spaces. We first show that each nonlinear complementarity problem can be approximated arbitrarily by a nonlinear complementarity problem which is stable in the sense that the small change of the objective function results in the small change of its solution set; and thus we say that almost all complementarity problems are stable from viewpoint of Baire category. Secondly, we show that each nonlinear complementarity problem has, at least, one connected component of its solutions which is stable, though in general its solution set may not have good behaviour (i.e., not stable). Our results show that if a complementarity problem has only one connected solution set, it is then always stable without the assumption that the functions are either Lipschitz or differentiable.     

Unconstrained minimization approaches to nonlinear complementarity problems

The nonlinear complementarity problem can be reformulated as unconstrained minimization problems by introducing merit functions. Under some assumptions, the solution set of the nonlinear complementarity problem coincides with the set of local minima of the corresponding minimization problem. These results were presented by Mangasarian and Solodov, Yamashita and Fukushima, and Geiger and Kanzow. In this note, we generalize some results of Mangasarian and Solodov, Yamashita and Fukushima, and Geiger and Kanzow to the case where the considered function is only directionally differentiable. Some results are strengthened in the smooth case. For example, it is shown that the strong monotonicity condition can be replaced by the P-uniform property for ensuring a stationary point of the reformulated unconstrained minimization problems to be a solution of the nonlinear complementarity problem. We also present a descent algorithm for solving the nonlinear complementarity problem in the smooth case. Any accumulation point generated by this algorithm is proved to be a solution of the nonlinear complementarity under the monotonicity condition.     

Implicit complementarity problems on isotone projection cones

Isac and Németh [G. Isac and A. B. Németh, Projection methods, isotone projection cones and the complementarity problem, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 153 (1990), pp. 258–275] proved that solving a coincidence point equation (fixed point problem) in turn solves the corresponding implicit complementarity problem (nonlinear complementarity problem) and they exploited the isotonicity of the metric projection onto isotone projection cones to solve implicit complementarity problems (nonlinear complementarity problems) defined by these cones. In this article an iterative algorithm is studied in connection with an implicit complementarity problem. It is proved that if the sequence generated through the defined algorithm is convergent, then its limit is a solution of the coincidence point equation and thus solves the implicit complementarity problem. Sufficient conditions are given for this sequence to be convergent for implicit complementarity problems defined by isotone projection cones, extending the results of Németh [S.Z. Németh, Iterative methods for nonlinear complementarity problems on isotone projection cones, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 350 (2009), pp. 340–370]. Some existing concepts from the latter paper are extended to solve the problem of finding nonzero solutions of the implicit complementarity problem.     

Finding solutions of implicit complementarity problems by isotonicity of the metric projection

Isac and Németh [G. Isac and A. B. Németh, Projection method, isotone projection cones and the complementarity problem, J. Math. Anal. App., 153, 258-275(1990)] proved that solving a coincidence point equation (fixed point problem) in turn solves the corresponding implicit complementarity problem (nonlinear complementarity problem) and they exploited the isotonicity of the metric projection onto isotone projection cones to solve implicit complementarity problems (nonlinear complementarity problems) defined by these cones. In this paper, the notion of *-isotone projection cones is employed and an iterative algorithm is presented in connection with an implicit complementarity problem on *-isotone projection cones. It is proved that if the sequence generated through the defined algorithm is convergent, then its limit is a solution of the coincidence point equation and thus solves the implicit complementarity problem. Sufficient conditions are given for this sequence to be convergent for implicit complementarity problems defined by *-isotone projection cones. The question of finding nonzero solutions of these problems is also studied.     

QPCOMP: A quadratic programming based solver for mixed complementarity problems

QPCOMP is an extremely robust algorithm for solving mixed nonlinear complementarity problems that has fast local convergence behavior. Based in part on the NE/SQP method of Pang and Gabriel [14], this algorithm represents a significant advance in robustness at no cost in efficiency. In particular, the algorithm is shown to solve any solvable Lipschitz continuous, continuously differentiable, pseudo-monotone mixed nonlinear complementarity problem. QPCOMP also extends the NE/SQP method for the nonlinear complementarity problem to the more general mixed nonlinear complementarity problem. Computational results are provided, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm. This material is based on research supported by National Science Foundation Grant CCR-9157632, Department of Energy Grant DE-FG03-94ER61915, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Grant F49620-94-1-0036.

A general MPCC model and its solution algorithm for continuous network design problem

This paper formulates the continuous network design problem as a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC), with the upper level a nonlinear programming problem and the lower level a nonlinear complementarity problem. Unlike in most previous studies, the proposed framework is more general, in which both symmetric and asymmetric user equilibria can be captured. By applying the complementarity slackness condition of the lower-level problem, the original bilevel formulation can be converted into a single-level and smooth nonlinear programming problem. In order to solve the problem, a relaxation scheme is applied by progressively restricting the complementarity condition, which has been proven to be a rigorous approach under certain conditions. The model and solution algorithm are tested for well-known network design problems and promising results are shown.     

The convergence of a modified smoothing-type algorithm for the symmetric cone complementarity problem

The symmetric cone complementarity problem (denoted by SCCP) is a broad class of optimization problems, which contains the semidefinite complementarity problem, the second-order cone complementarity problem, and the nonlinear complementarity problem. In this paper we first extend the smoothing function proposed by Huang et al. (Sci. China 44:1107–1114, 2001) for the nonlinear complementarity problem to the context of symmetric cones and show that it is coercive under suitable assumptions. Based on this smoothing function, a smoothing-type algorithm, which is a modified version of the Qi-Sun-Zhou method (Qi et al. in Math. Program. 87:1–35, 2000), is proposed for solving the SCCP. By using the theory of Euclidean Jordan algebras, we prove that the proposed algorithm is globally and locally quadratically convergent under suitable assumptions. Preliminary numerical results for some second-order cone complementarity problems are reported which indicate that the proposed algorithm is effective.
