Abstract
This paper investigates feasible interior-point method (IPM) with full-Newton step for -weighted linear complementarity problem (WLCP). In particular, by applying the algebraically equivalent transformation (AET) for linear optimization, we obtain the new search directions by solving the perturbed Newton system. The AET of the Newton system is based on the kernel function , which is used for solving WLCP for the first time. At each iteration, our algorithm takes only full-Newton steps. Therefore, no line-searches are needed to update the iterates. We show the strict feasibility of the full-Newton step and the polynomial iteration complexity of our algorithm under suitable assumptions. Some numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis, the journal also publishes papers describing relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering and other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics component. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are:
(i) Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.
(ii) Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.
(iii) Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.
