In this paper we present a method which can transform a variational inequality with gradient constraints into a usual two obstacles problem in one dimensional case.The prototype of the problem is a parabolic variational inequality with the constraints of two first order differential inequalities arising from a two-dimensional model of European call option pricing with transaction costs.We obtain the monotonicity and smoothness of two free boundaries.     

APPROXIMATION OF FIXED POINTS AND VARIATIONAL SOLUTIONS FOR PSEUDO-CONTRACTIVE MAPPINGS IN BANACH SPACES

Let K be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space E which has a uniformly Gteaux differentiable norm. Assume that every nonempty closed convex and bounded subset of K has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems for approximation of a fixed point of Lipschitz pseudo-contractive mappings which is also a unique solution to variational inequality problem involving φ-strongly pseudo-contractive mappings are proved. The results presented in this article can be applied to the study of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, variational inequality problems, convex optimization problems, and split feasibility problems. Our result extends many recent important results.     

An FEM approximation for a fourth-order variational inequality of second kind

A fourth-order variational inequality of the second kind arising in a plate frictional bending problem is considered. By using regularization method, the original problem can be formulated as a differentiable variational equation, and the corresponding discrete FEM variational equation is presented afterwards. Abstract error estimates and error estimates of the approximation are derived in terms of energy norm and L^2-norm.     

A PROJECTION-TYPE METHOD FOR SOLVING VARIOUS WEBER PROBLEMS

This paper investigates various Weber problems including unconstrained Weber problems and constrained Weber problems under l1, l2 and l∞-norms. First with a transformation technique various Weber problems are turned into a class of monotone linear variational inequalities. By exploiting the favorable structure of these variational inequalities, we present a new projection-type method for them. Compared with some other projection-type methods which can solve monotone linear variational inequality, this new projection-type method is simple in numerical implementations and more efficient for solving this class of problems; Compared with some popular methods for solving unconstrained Weber problem and constrained Weber problem, a singularity would not happen in this new method and it is more reliable by using this new method to solve various Weber problems.     

A NEW SELF-ADAPTIVE ITERATIVE METHOD FOR GENERAL MIXED QUASI VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

The general mixed quasi variational inequality containing a nonlinear term φ is a useful and an important generalization of variational inequalities. The projection method can not be applied to solve this problem due to the presence of nonlinear term. It is well known that the variational inequalities involving the nonlinear term φ are equivalent to the fixed point problems and resolvent equations. In this article, the authors use these alternative equivalent formulations to suggest and analyze a new self-adaptive iterative method for solving general mixed quasi variational inequalities. Global convergence of the new method is proved. An example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

求解带均衡约束数学规划问题的一个连续化方法

In this paper, a continuation method for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) is proposed. By using the KKT conditions for the variational inequality constraints, the MPEC is firstly reformulated as a nonsmooth constrained optimization problem, then we solve a sequence of smooth perturbation problems, which progressively approximate the nonsmooth problem, and study the convergence of the proposed method. Numerical results showing feasibility of the approach are given.     

求解凸不等式问题的熵光滑化方法

The maximal entropy principle is applied to solve convex inequality problems. An inequality problem can be transformed into a minmax problem.Then it can be transformed into an unconstrained parameterized min problem,using the entropic function to smooth the minmax problem. The solution of the inequality problem can be obtained, by solving the parameterized min problems and adjusting the parameter to zero, under a certain principle. However, it is sufficient to solve a parameterized inequality problem each time, from the propositions of the aggregate function. In the article, some propositions of the aggregate function are discussed, the algorithm and its convergence are obtained.     

MONOTONIZATION IN GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION

A general monotonization method is proposed for converting a constrained programming problem with non-monotone objective function and monotone constraint functions into a monotone programming problem. An equivalent monotone programming problem with only inequality constraints is obtained via this monotonization method. Then the existing convexification and concavefication methods can be used to convert the monotone programming problem into an equivalent better-structured optimization problem.

A globally and superlinearly convergent quasi-Newton method for general box constrained variational inequalities without smoothing approximation

A new quasi-Newton algorithm for the solution of general box constrained variational inequality problem (GVI(l, u, F, f)) is proposed in this paper. It is based on a reformulation of the variational inequality problem as a nonsmooth system of equations by using the median operator. Without smoothing approximation, the proposed quasi-Newton algorithm is directly applied to solve this class of nonsmooth equations. Under appropriate assumptions, it is proved that the algorithmic sequence globally and superlinearly converges to a solution of the equation reformulation and also of GVI(l, u, F, f). Numerical results show that our new algorithm works quite well.

A non-interior-point smoothing method for variational inequality problem

In this paper, we focus on the variational inequality problem. Based on the Fischer-Burmeister function with smoothing parameters, the variational inequality problem can be reformulated as a system of parameterized smooth equations, a non-interior-point smoothing method is presented for solving the problem. The proposed algorithm not only has no restriction on the initial point, but also has global convergence and local quadratic convergence, moreover, the local quadratic convergence is established without a strict complementarity condition. Preliminary numerical results show that the algorithm is promising.     

Convergence of a non-interior smoothing method for variational inequality problems

The variational inequality problem can be reformulated as a system of equations. One can solve the reformulated equations to obtain a solution of the original problem. In this paper, based on a symmetric perturbed min function, we propose a new smoothing function, which has some nice properties. By which we propose a new non-interior smoothing algorithm for solving the variational inequality problem, which is based on both the non-interior continuation method and the smoothing Newton method. The proposed algorithm only needs to solve at most one system of equations at each iteration. In particular, we show that the algorithm is globally linearly and locally quadratically convergent under suitable assumptions. The preliminary numerical results are reported.     

Components identification based method for box constrained variational inequality problems with almost linear functions

We present a method for solving a class of box constrained variational inequality problems. The method makes use of a procedure for identifying some components of the solution by bounding it with an interval vector. It is shown that the method computes an approximate solution of the variational inequality problem by solving at most n reduced systems of equations, where n is the dimension of the problem. Among those systems, only the one of the smallest dimension has to be solved with high accuracy. The others are solved merely to identify some components of the solution, and so the computation can be done under a very mild requirement of accuracy. Numerical results are presented for the obstacle problem, to illustrate the efficiency of the method. AMS subject classification (2000)  90C33, 65G30, 65K10
