A hybrid extragradient method for general variational inequalities (Q1014296): Difference between revisions

For finding the solution \(x^*\) of a mixed complementarity problem in form of a variational inequality with box constraints \((y - x^*)^TF(x^*)\geq 0,\; \forall y \in [l, u]\) and with almost linear functions \(F(x) = Mx + \varphi(x)\) an iterative algorithm is developed. The algorithm computes an approximate solution by solving at most \(n\) reduced systems of equations. Only the one of the smallest dimension has to be solved with high accuracy, the others are solved merely to identify some components of the solution. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated numerically for a finite element discretized obstacle problem. The numerical results show that the algorithm is more efficient than the semi-smooth Newton of \textit{C. Kanzow} and \textit{M. Fukushima} [Oper. Res. Lett. 23, No.~1--2, 45--51 (1998; Zbl 0941.90070)].
