Abstract

Recently, the study of symmetric cone complementarity problems has been a hot topic in the literature. Many numerical methods have been proposed for solving such a class of problems. Among them, the problems concerned are generally monotonic. In this paper, we consider symmetric cone linear complementarity problems with a class of non-monotonic transformations. A smoothing Newton algorithm is extended to solve this class of non-monotonic symmetric cone linear complementarity problems; and the algorithm is proved to be well-defined. In particular, we show that the algorithm is globally and locally quadratically convergent under mild assumptions. The preliminary numerical results are also reported.
