The nonlinear complementarity problem (denoted by NCP(F)) can be reformulated as the solution of a nonsmooth system of equations. By introducing a new smoothing NCP-function, the problem is approximated by a family of parameterized smooth equations. A one-step smoothing Newton method is proposed for

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we present a new one-step smoothing Newton method proposed for solving the non-linear complementarity problem with P 0 -function based on a new smoothing NCP-function. We adopt a variant merit function. Our algorithm needs only to solve one linear system of equations and perform one line search per iteration. It shows that any accumulation point of the iteration sequence generated by our algorithm is a solution of P 0 -NCP. Furthermore, under the assumption that the solution set is non-empty and bounded, we can guarantee at least one accumulation point of the generated sequence. Numerical experiments show the feasibility and efficiency of the algorithm.

A smoothing Broyden-like method is proposed for solving nonlinear complementarity problem in this paper. The algorithm considered here is based on the smooth approximation Fischer-Burmeister function and makes use of the line search rule of Li and Fukushima [A derivative-free line search and global

It is proved that the optimal solution to the smoothed penalty optimization problem is a Ο΅ 2 -approximate optimal solution to the original optimization problem under some mild a
A new smoothing quasi-Newton method for nonlinear complementarity problems is presented. The method is a generalization of Thomas' method for smooth nonlinear systems and has similar properties as Broyden's method. Local convergence is analyzed for a strictly complementary solution as well as for a
