A PENALTY APPROACH FOR A BOX CONSTRAINED VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY PROBLEM

摘要

We propose a penalty approach for a box constrained variational inequality problem (BVIP). This problem is replaced by a sequence of nonlinear equations containing a penalty term. We show that if the penalty parameter tends to infinity, the solution of this sequence converges to that of BVIP when the function F involved is continuous and strongly monotone and the box C contains the origin. We develop the algorithmic aspect with theoretical arguments properly established. The numerical results tested on some examples are satisfactory and confirm the theoretical approach.
