One-step smoothing Newton method for solving the mixed complementarity problem with a function

The mixed complementarity problem (denote by MCP(F)) can be reformulated as the solution of a smooth system of equations. In the paper, based on a perturbed mid function, we propose a new smoothing function, which has an important property, not satisfied by many other smoothing function. The existence and continuity of a smooth path for solving the mixed complementarity problem with a P₀ function are discussed. Then we presented a one-step smoothing Newton algorithm to solve the MCP with a P₀ function. The global convergence of the proposed algorithm is verified under mild conditions. And by using the smooth and semismooth technique, the rate of convergence of the method is proved under some suitable assumptions.

A smoothing method for second order cone complementarity problem

In this paper, the second order cone complementarity problem is studied. Based on a perturbed symmetrically smoothing function, which has coerciveness under proper conditions, we present a smoothing Newton method for this problem. The boundedness of the level set can be obtained from the coerciveness, which plays an important role in the convergence analysis. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm for the reformulation has no restrictions on the starting point and solves only one system of equations. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the algorithm is effective.     

A new smoothing Newton method for solving constrained nonlinear equations

In this paper, a new smoothing Newton method is proposed for solving constrained nonlinear equations. We first transform the constrained nonlinear equations to a system of semismooth equations by using the so-called absolute value function of the slack variables, and then present a new smoothing Newton method for solving the semismooth equations by constructing a new smoothing approximation function. This new method is globally and quadratically convergent. It needs to solve only one system of unconstrained equations and to perform one line search at each iteration. Numerical results show that the new algorithm works quite well.

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.

A one-parametric class of smoothing functions and an improved regularization Newton method for the NCP

In this paper, we introduce a one-parametric class of smoothing functions, which enjoys some favourable properties and includes two famous smoothing functions as special cases. Based on this class of smoothing functions, we propose a regularization Newton method for solving the non-linear complementarity problem. The main feature of the proposed method is that it uses a perturbed Newton equation to obtain the direction. This not only allows our method to have global and local quadratic convergences without strict complementarity conditions, but also makes the regularization parameter converge to zero globally Q-linearly. In addition, we use a new non-monotone line search scheme to obtain the step size. Some numerical results are reported which confirm the good theoretical properties of the proposed method.

Recently, filter methods are extensively studied to handle nonlinear programming problems. Because of good numerical results, filter techniques are attached importance to. The nonlinear complementarity problem can be reformulated as the least l₂-norm solution of an optimization problem. In this paper, basing on the filter technique and the new smoothing function, we present a new Filter-Levenberg-Marquardt method for solving the equation system with the disturbance . Under the assumption that the lever set of the problem is compact, we prove its global convergence.

A smoothing-type algorithm for the second-order cone complementarity problem with a new nonmonotone line search

The second-order cone complementarity problem (denoted by SOCCP) can be effectively solved by smoothing-type algorithms, which in general are designed based on some monotone line search. In this paper, based on a new smoothing function of the Fischer–Burmeister function, we propose a smoothing-type algorithm for solving the SOCCP. The proposed algorithm uses a new nonmonotone line search scheme, which contains the usual monotone line search as a special case. Under suitable assumptions, we show that the proposed algorithm is globally and locally quadratically convergent. Some numerical results are reported which indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The method solves only one linear system of equations and performs only one line search at each iteration. Without requiring strict complementarity assumption at the SOCO solution, the proposed algorithm is shown to be globally and locally quadratically convergent. Numerical results demonstrate that our algorithm is promising and comparable to interior-point methods.

Moreover, filter method, for its good numerical results, are extensively studied to handle nonlinear programming problems recently. In this paper, a modified quadratic subproblem is proposed. Based on it, we employ filter technique to tackle nonlinear complementarity problem. This method has no demand on initial point. The restoration phase, which is always used in traditional filter method, is not needed. Global convergence results of the proposed algorithm are established under suitable conditions. Some numerical results are reported in this paper.

Preliminary numerical results indicate that the method is effective for large-scale NCP.     

A smoothing-type algorithm for solving nonlinear complementarity problems with a non-monotone line search

The smoothing-type algorithm has been successfully applied to solve various optimization problems. In general, the smoothing-type algorithm is designed based on some monotone line search. However, in order to achieve better numerical results, the non-monotone line search technique has been used in the numerical computations of some smoothing-type algorithms. In this paper, we propose a smoothing-type algorithm for solving the nonlinear complementarity problem with a non-monotone line search. We show that the proposed algorithm is globally and locally superlinearly convergent under suitable assumptions. The preliminary numerical results are also reported.
