Some non-interior path-following methods based on a scaled central path for linear complementarity problems

摘要

In this paper we present some non-interior path-following methods for linear complementarity problems. Instead of using the standard central path we use a scaled central path. Based on this new central path, we first give a feasible non-interior path-following method for linear complementarity problems. And then we extend it to an infeasible method. After proving the boundedness of the neighborhood, we prove the convergence of our method. Another point we should present is that we prove the local quadratic convergence of feasible method without the assumption of strict complementarity at the solution.
