A New Type of Solution Method for the Generalized Linear Complementarity Problem over a Polyhedral Cone

This paper addresses the generalized linear complementarity problem （GLCP） over a polyhedral cone. To solve the problem, we first equivalently convert the problem into an affine variational inequalities problem over a closed polyhedral cone, and then propose a new type of method to solve the GLCP based on the error bound estimation. The global and R-linear convergence rate is established. The numerical experiments show the efficiency of the method.

A linear complementarity model for multibody systems with frictional unilateral and bilateral constraints

The Lagrange-I equations and measure differential equations for multibody systems with unilateral and bilateral constraints are constructed. For bilateral constraints, frictional forces and their impulses contain the products of the filled-in relay function induced by Coulomb friction and the absolute values of normal constraint reactions. With the time-stepping impulse-velocity scheme, the measure differential equations are discretized. The equations of horizontal linear complementarity problems （HLCPs）, which are used to compute the impulses, are constructed by decomposing the absolute function and the filled-in relay function. These HLCP equations degenerate into equations of LCPs for frictional unilateral constraints, or HLCPs for frictional bilateral constraints. Finally, a numerical simulation for multibody systems with both unilateral and bilateral constraints is presented.

A Potential-Reduction Algorithm for Linear Complementarity Problems

Feasible-interior-point algorithms start from a strictly feasible interior point, but infeassible-interior-point algorithms just need to start from an arbitrary positive point, we give a potential reduction algorithm from an infeasible-starting-point for a class of non-monotone linear complementarity problem. Its polynomial complexity is analyzed. After finite iterations the algorithm produces an approximate solution of the problem or shows that there is no feasible optimal solution in a large region.

GLOBAL LINEAR AND QUADRATIC ONE-STEP SMOOTHING NEWTON METHOD FOR VERTICAL LINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

A one_step smoothing Newton method is proposed for solving the vertical linear complementarity problem based on the so_called aggregation function. The proposed algorithm has the following good features: (ⅰ) It solves only one linear system of equations and does only one line search at each iteration; (ⅱ) It is well_defined for the vertical linear complementarity problem with vertical block P 0 matrix and any accumulation point of iteration sequence is its solution.Moreover, the iteration sequence is bounded for the vertical linear complementarity problem with vertical block P 0+R 0 matrix; (ⅲ) It has both global linear and local quadratic convergence without strict complementarity. Many existing smoothing Newton methods do not have the property (ⅲ).

Interior-point algorithm based on general kernel function for monotone linear complementarity problem

A polynomial interior-point algorithm is presented for monotone linear complementarity problem （MLCP） based on a class of kernel functions with the general barrier term, which are called general kernel functions. Under the mild conditions for the barrier term, the complexity bound of algorithm in terms of such kernel function and its derivatives is obtained. The approach is actually an extension of the existing work which only used the specific kernel functions for the MLCP.

The Smoothing Newton Method for Solving the Extended Linear Complementarity Problem

The extended linear complementarity problem(denoted by ELCP) can be reformulated as the solution of a nonsmooth system of equations.

Homotopy Continuation Method for Linear Complementarity Problems

It is well known that a linear complementarity problem (LCP) can be formulated as a system of nonsmooth equations F(x) = 0, where F is a map from Rninto itself. Using the aggregate function, we construct a smooth Newton homotopy H(x,t) = 0. Under certain assumptions, we prove the existence of a smooth path defined by the Newton homotopy which leads to a solution of the original problem, and study limiting properties of the homotopy path.

A MODIFIED PROJECTION AND CONTRACTION METHOD FOR A CLASS OF LINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

Recently, we have proposed an iterative projection and contraction (PC) method for a class of linear complementarity problems (LCP)([4]). The method was showed to be globally convergent, but no statement could be made about the rate of convergence. In this paper, we develop a modified globally linearly convergent PC method for linear complementarity problems. Both the method and the convergence proofs are very simple. The method can also be used to solve some linear variational inequalities. Several computational experiments are presented to indicate that the method is surprising good for solving some known difficult problems.

A Kernel Function Based Interior-Point Methods for Solving P_*(κ)-Linear Complementarity Problem

In this paper, motivated by the complexity results of Interior Point Methods （IPMs） for Linear Optimization （LO） based on kernel functions, we present a polynomial time IPM for solving P.（a）-linear complementarity problem, using a new class of kernel functions. The special case of our new class was considered earlier for LO by Y. Q. Bai et al. in 2004. Using some appealing properties of the new class, we show that the iteration bound for IPMs matches the so far best known theoretical iteration bound for both large and small updates by choosing special values for the parameters of the new class.
