Description
Summary:We discuss the weighted complementarity problem, extending the nonlinear complementarity problem on Rn. In contrast to the NCP, many equilibrium problems in science, engineering, and economics can be transformed into WCPs for more efficient methods. Smoothing Newton algorithms, known for their at least locally superlinear convergence properties, have been widely applied to solve WCPs. We suggest a two-step Newton approach with a local biquadratic order convergence rate to solve the WCP. The new method needs to calculate two Newton equations at each iteration. We also insert a new term, which is of crucial importance for the local biquadratic convergence properties when solving the Newton equation. We demonstrate that the solution to the WCP is the accumulation point of the iterative sequence produced by the approach. We further demonstrate that the algorithm possesses local biquadratic convergence properties. Numerical results indicate the method to be practical and efficient.
