We show that after a suitable Moreau-Yosida type regularization of the problem superlinear local convergence is obtained for a class of semismooth Newton methods. In addition, estimates for the order of tile error introduced by the regularization are derived. The main part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of a multilevel preconditioner for the semismooth Newton system. We prove a rigorous bound for the contraction rate of the multigrid cycle which is robust with respect to sufficiently small regularization parameters and the number of grid levels. Moreover, it applies to adaptively refined grids. The paper concludes with numerical results.展开更多

The new NCP functions are piecewise linear-rational, regular pseudo-smooth and have nice properties. This method is based on the solutions of linear systems of equation reformulation of KKT optimality conditions, by using the piecewise NCP functions. This method is implementable and globally convergent without assuming the strict complementarity condition, the isolatedness of accumulation points. Purr thermore, the gradients of active constraints are not requested to be linearly independent. The submatrix which may be obtained by quasi-Newton methods, is not requested to be uniformly positive definite. Preliminary numerical results indicate that this new QP-free method is quite promising.展开更多
