Abstract

In this article, we study a merit function based on sub-additive functions for solving the non-linear complementarity problem (NCP). This leads to consider an optimization problem that is equivalent to the NCP. In the case of a concave NCP this optimization problem is a Difference of Convex (DC) program and we can therefore use DC Algorithm to locally solve it. We prove that in the case of a concave monotone NCP, it is sufficient to compute a stationary point of the optimization problem to obtain a solution of the complementarity problem. In the case of a general NCP, assuming that a DC decomposition of the complementarity problem is known, we propose a penalization technique to reformulate the optimization problem as a DC program and prove that local minima of this penalized problem are also local minima of the merit problem. Numerical results on linear complementarity problems, absolute value equations and non-linear complementarity problems show that our method is promising.
