线性互补问题的一种新Lagrange乘子法

A new multiplier method for solving the linear complementarity problem LCP(q, M) is proposed. Based on the Lagrangian of LCP(q,M) introduced here, we construct a new differentiable merit function θ(x,λ) which containing a multiplier vector λ and satisfying θ(x,λ) ≥ 0 and θ(x,λ) = 0 if and if only x solves LCP(q,M). A simple damped Newton-type algorithm which based on the merit function θ(x,λ) is presented. The main feature of the method is that the multiplier self-adjusting step accelerates the local convergence rate without losing global convergence. When M is the P-matrix, the sequence {θ(x^k,λ^k)}where {(x^k,λ^k)} generated by the algorithm is globally linearly convergent to zero and convergent in finite number of iterations if the solution is nondegenerate. Numerical results suggest that the method is high efficient and promising.
