A Heuristic for Complementarity Problems Using Difference of Convex Functions

We present a new difference of convex functions algorithm (DCA) for solving linear and nonlinear mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). The approach is based on the reformulation of bilinear complementarity constraints as difference of convex (DC) functions, more specifically, the difference of scalar, convex quadratic terms. This reformulation gives rise to a DC program, which is … Read more
