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.     

New multiplier method for solving linear complementarity problems

A new multiplier method for solving the linear complementarity problem LCP(q, M) is proposed. By introducing a Lagrangian of LCP(q, M), a new smooth merit function ϑ(x, λ) for LCP(q, M) is constructed. Based on it, a simple damped Newton-type algorithm with multiplier self-adjusting step is presented. When M is a P-matrix, the sequence {ϑ(x ^k, λ ^k)} (where {(x ^k, λ ^k)} is generated by the algorithm) is globally linearly convergent to zero and convergent in a finite number of iterations if the solution is degenerate. Numerical results suggest that the method is highly efficient and promising. Selected from Numerical Mathematics (A Journal of Chinese Universities), 2004, 26(2): 162–171     

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.
