چکیده
The plain Newton-min algorithm to solve the linear complementarity problem (LCP for short) 0 6 x ⊥ (Mx + q) > 0 can be viewed as a semismooth Newton algorithm without globalization technique to solve the system of piecewise linear equations min(x,Mx + q) = 0, which is equivalent to the LCP. When M is an M-matrix of order n, the algorithm is known to converge in at most n iterations. We show in this paper that this result no longer holds when M is a P-matrix of order > 3, since then the algorithm may cycle. P-matrices are interesting since they are those ensuring the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the LCP for an arbitrary q. Incidentally, convergence occurs for a P-matrix of order 1 or 2. Key-words: linear complementarity problem, Newton’s method, nonconvergence, nonsmooth function, M-matrix, P-matrix. † INRIA-Paris-Rocquencourt, team-project Estime, BP 105, F-78153 Le Chesnay Cedex (France); e-mails : Ibtihel.Ben [email protected], [email protected]. in ria -0 04 42 29 3, v er si on 4 28 D ec 2 01 0 Non convergence de l’algorithme de Newton-min simple pour les problèmes de complémentarité linéaires avec P-matrice — Le rapport complet Résumé : L’algorithme Newton-min, utilisé pour résoudre le problème de complémentarité linéaire (PCL) 0 6 x ⊥ (Mx + q) > 0 peut être interprété comme un algorithme de Newton non lisse sans globalisation cherchant à résoudre le système d’équations linéaires par morceaux min(x,Mx+ q) = 0, qui est équivalent au PCL. Lorsque M est une M-matrice d’ordre n, on sait que l’algorithme converge en au plus n itérations. Nous montrons dans cet article que ce résultat ne tient plus lorsque M est une P-matrice d’ordre n > 3; l’algorithme peut en effet cycler dans ce cas. On a toutefois la convergence de l’algorithme pour une P-matrice d’ordre 1 ou 2.

متن کاملApproximation Incremental Training Algorithm Based on a Changeable Training Set
The quick training algorithms and accurate solution procedure for incremental learning aim at improving the efficiency of training of SVR, whereas there are some disadvantages for them, i.e. the nonconvergence of the formers for changeable training set and the inefficiency of the latter for a massive dataset. In order to handle the problems, a new training algorithm for a changeable training se...
متن کاملNonconvergence Examples in Averaging
Systems which combine fast and slow motions lead to complicated two scale equations and the averaging principle suggests to approximate the slow motion by averaging in fast variables. When the fast motion does not depend on the slow one this approximation usually works for all or almost all initial conditions but when the slow and fast motions depend on each other (fully coupled), as is usually...

Recent developments in fracture mechanics analyses of the interfacial crack problem are reviewed. The intent of the review is to renew the awareness of the oscillatory singularity at the crack tip of a bimaterial interface and the problems that occur when calculating mode mixity using numerical methods such as the finite element method in conjunction with the virtual crack closure technique. Es...
متن کاملEfficient Bootstrap Tests for the Goodness of Fit in Covariance Structure Analysis
Asymptotic chi-square tests, such as the normal theory likelihood ratio test, are often used to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of a covariance structure analysis model. Another approach is to use the bootstrap test, which is known to have the desired asymptotic level if model restrictions are taken into account in designing a resampling algorithm. The bootstrap test is, however, computationally v...
متن کاملMarket Power on Oral Double Auctions
This paper reports the results of a series of oral double auction experiments in which some traders possess market power. A market is set up in which the configuration of supply and demand curves leads to an asymmetry between buyers and sellers in their abilities to influence transactions prices. This market structure does not always lead to convergence to the competitive price despite the comp...
