On the nonlinear complementarity problem (Q1092267)

Variational approaches have long been of immense value from many points of view. Complementarity problems of operations research, more general variational inequality problems and extensions/generalizations have helped to tackle several interesting questions. Here the author considers an algorithm for a new class of complementarity problems of finding the function u such that \(u\geq 0\), \(Tu+A(u)\geq 0,\) \((u,Tu+A(u))=0\) where T is a continuous mapping and A is a diagonally nonlinear mapping from \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) into itself. A theorem on the approximate solution obtained by iterative schemes converging to the exact solution is provided. Some special cases are also discussed.
