Smoothing Newton Algorithm for Nonlinear Complementarity Problem with a PFunction

By using a smoothing function,the P nonlinear complementarity problem(P NCP)can be reformulated as a parameterized smooth equation.A Newton method is proposed to solve this equation.The iteration sequence generated by the proposed algorithm is bounded and this algorithm is proved to be globally convergent under an assumption that the P NCP has a nonempty solution set.This assumption is weaker than the ones used in most existing smoothing algorithms.In particular,the solution obtained by the proposed algorithm is shown to be a maximally complementary solution of the P NCP without any additional assumption.

A Penalty-Regularization-Operator Splitting Method for the Numerical Solution of a Scalar Eikonal Equation

In this article, we discuss a numerical method for the computation of the minimal and maximal solutions of a steady scalar Eikonal equation. This method relies on a penalty treatment of the nonlinearity, a biharmonic regularization of the resulting variational problem, and the time discretization by operator-splitting of an initial value problem associated with the Euler-Lagrange equations of the regularized variational problem. A low-order finite element discretization is advocated since it is well-suited to the low regularity of the solutions. Numerical experiments show that the method sketched above can capture efficiently the extremal solutions of various two-dimensional test problems and that it has also the ability of handling easily domains with curved boundaries.

On the Numerical Solution of Some Eikonal Equations:An Elliptic Solver Approach

The steady Eikonal equation is a prototypical first-order fully nonlinear equation. A numerical method based on elliptic solvers is presented here to solve two different kinds of steady Eikonal equations and compute solutions, which are maximal and minimal in the variational sense. The approach in this paper relies on a variational argument involving penalty, a biharmonic regularization, and an operator-splitting-based time-discretization scheme for the solution of an associated initial-value problem. This approach allows the decoupling of the nonlinearities and differential operators.Numerical experiments are performed to validate this approach and investigate its convergence properties from a numerical viewpoint.
