文摘By introducing a smooth merit function for the median function, a new smooth merit function for box constrained variational inequalities (BVIs) was constructed. The function is simple and has some good differential properties. A damped Newton type method was presented based on it. Global and local superlinear/ quadratic convergence results were obtained under mild conditions, and the finite termination property was also shown for the linear BVIs. Numerical results suggest that the method is efficient and promising.
