This problem has been used to model various problems in applications. However, the convergent solution algorithms are extremely scare in the literature. In this paper, we present an incremental penalty method for the GNEP, and show that a solution of the GNEP can be found by solving a sequence of smooth NEPs. We then apply the semismooth Newton method with Armijo line search to solve latter problems and provide some results of numerical experiments to illustrate the proposed approach.展开更多

Using this NCP-function the box constrained variational inequality is reformulated as a system of semismooth equa- tions whose merit function is differentiable every where. For the P0-function F, any stationary point of the merit function solves the VI([a, b], F). The related Newton-type method is proposed. For continuously differentiable and monotone function F, the generalized Newton equation involved in the method is always a uniquely solvable system of linear equations and affords a direction of sufficient decrease for the merit function. Under the condition of BD-regular solution, the algorithm is globally convergent and has a superlinear or possibly quadratic rate of convergence. The numerical results suggest that the algorithm is robust and efficient.展开更多
