On NCP-Functions

چکیده
In this paper we reformulate several NCP-functions for the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) from their merit function forms and study some important properties of these NCP-functions. We point out that some of these NCP-functions have all the nice properties investigated by Chen, Chen and Kanzow [2] for a modified Fischer-Burmeister function, while some other NCP-functions may lose one or several of these properties. We also provide a modified normal map and a smoothing technique to overcome the limitation of these NCP-functions. A numerical comparison for the behaviour of various NCP-functions is provided.

متن کاملOn Some NCP-Functions Based on the Generalized Fischer-burmeister Function
In this paper, we study several NCP-functions for the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) which are indeed based on the generalized Fischer-Burmeister function, φp(a, b) = ‖(a, b)‖p−(a+b). It is well known that the NCP can be reformulated as an equivalent unconstrained minimization by means of merit functions involving NCPfunctions. Thus, we aim to investigate some important properties of t...
متن کاملA family of NCP functions and a descent method for the nonlinear complementarity problem
In last decades, there has been much effort on the solution and the analysis of the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) by reformulating NCP as an unconstrained minimization involving an NCP function. In this paper, we propose a family of new NCP functions, which include the Fischer-Burmeister function as a special case, based on a p-norm with p being any fixed real number in the interval (...
متن کاملSymmetrization of generalized natural residual function for NCP
In contrast to the generalized Fischer-Burmeister function that is a natural extension of the popular Fischer-Burmeister function NCP-function, the generalized natural residual NCP-function based on discrete extension, recently proposed by Chen, Ko, and Wu, does not possess symmetric graph. In this paper we symmetrize the generalized natural residual NCP-function, and construct not only new NCP...
متن کاملA penalized Fischer-Burmeister NCP-function
We introduce a new NCP-function in order to reformulate the nonlinear complementarity problem as a nonsmooth system of equations. This new NCP-function turns out to have stronger theoretical properties than the widely used Fischer-Burmeister function and other NCP-functions suggested previously. Moreover, numerical experience indicates that a semismooth Newton method based on this new NCP-funct...
