Abstract

This paper provides for the first time some computable smoothing functions for variational inequality problems with general constraints. This paper proposes also a new version of the smoothing Newton method and establishes its global and superlinear (quadratic) convergence under conditions weaker than those previously used in the literature. These are achieved by introducing a general definition for smoothing functions, which include almost all the existing smoothing functions as special cases.
