A Globally Derivative-Free Descent Method for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems

Based on a class of functions, which generalize the squared Fischer-Burmeister NCP function and have many desirable properties as the latter function has, we reformulate nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP for short) as an equivalent unconstrained optimization problem, for which we propose a derivative-free descent method in monotone case. We show its global convergence under some mild conditions. If $F$, the function involved in NCP, is $R_0$-function, the optimization problems has bounded level sets. A local property of the merit function is discussed. Finally,we report some numerical results.     

A SQP METHOD FOR GENERAL NONLINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

A LQP BASED INTERIOR PREDICTION-CORRECTION METHOD FOR NONLINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

To solve nonlinear complementarity problems （NCP）, at each iteration, the classical proximal point algorithm solves a well-conditioned sub-NCP while the Logarithmic-Quadratic Proximal （LQP） method solves a system of nonlinear equations （LQP system）. This paper presents a practical LQP method-based prediction-correction method for NCP. The predictor is obtained via solving the LQP system approximately under significantly relaxed restriction, and the new iterate （the corrector） is computed directly by an explicit formula derived from the original LQP method. The implementations are very easy to be carried out. Global convergence of the method is proved under the same mild assumptions as the original LQP method. Finally, numerical results for traffic equilibrium problems are provided to verify that the method is effective for some practical problems.

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.     

非线性互补问题的一种新的光滑价值函数及牛顿类算法

A new smooth merit function was constructed for nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs). Like as the merit function based on the famous FischerBurmeister function, the stationary point of the merit function is the solution of NCP when the function is only a P0-function, and the merit function has good coercive property. A damped Newton-type algorithm which based on the merit function was presented. The global and local superlinear or quadratic convergence results were obtained under suitable conditions. Furthermore, the finite termination property was obtained for affine case with P-matrix without using the hybrid switch technique or additional step as corrector Newton step as usual. Numerical results suggest that the method is promising.
