An novel ADM for finding Cournot equilibria of bargaining problem with alternating offers

Bargaining is a basic game in economic practice. Cournot duopoly game is an important model in bargaining theory. Recently, asymmetry information [20] and incomplete information [19], limited individual rationality [2] and slightly altruistic equilibrium [10] are introduced into bargaining theory. And computational game theory come into being a new research field. In this paper, we … Read more

Homogeneous Cone Complementarity Problems and $ Properties

We consider existence and uniqueness properties of a solution to homogeneous cone complementarity problem (HCCP). Employing the $T$-algebraic characterization of homogeneous cones, we generalize the $P, P_0, R_0$ properties for a nonlinear function associated with the standard nonlinear complementarity problem to the setting of HCCP. We prove that if a continuous function has either the … Read more

A continuation method for nonlinear complementarity problems over symmetric cone

In this paper, we introduce a new P-type condition for nonlinear functions defined over Euclidean Jordan algebras, and study a continuation method for nonlinear complementarity problems over symmetric cones. This new P-type condition represents a new class of nonmonotone nonlinear complementarity problems that can be solved numerically.

On the complexity of the hybrid proximal extragradient method for the iterates and the ergodic mean

In this paper we analyze the iteration-complexity of the hybrid proximal extragradient (HPE) method for finding a zero of a maximal monotone operator recently proposed by Solodov and Svaiter. One of the key points of our analysis is the use of new termination criteria based on the $\varepsilon$-enlargement of a maximal monotone operator. The advantage … Read more

A New Relaxation Scheme for Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints

We present a new relaxation scheme for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC), where the complementarity constraints are replaced by a reformulation that is exact for the complementarity conditions corresponding to sufficiently non-degenerate complementarity components and relaxes only the remaining complementarity conditions. A positive parameter determines to what extent the complementarity conditions are relaxed. The … Read more

Proximal-like contraction methods for monotone variational inequalities in a unified framework

Approximate proximal point algorithms (abbreviated as APPAs) are classical approaches for convex optimization problems and monotone variational inequalities. To solve the subproblems of these algorithms, the projection method takes the iteration in form of $u^{k+1} = P_{\Omega}[u^k-\alpha_k d^k]$. Interestingly, many of them can be paired such that $%\exists \tilde{u}^k, \tilde{u}^k = P_{\Omega}[u^k – \beta_kF(v^k)] = … Read more

Impulsive Optimal Control of Hybrid Finite-Dimensional Lagrangian Systems

The scope of this dissertation addresses numerical and theoretical issues in the impulsive control of hybrid finite-dimensional Lagrangian systems. In order to treat these aspects, a modeling framework is presented based on the measure-differential inclusion representation of the Lagrangian dynamics. The main advantage of this representation is that it enables the incorporation of set-valued force … Read more

Necessary Conditions for the Impulsive Optimal Control of Multibody Mechanical Systems

In this work, necessary conditions for the impulsive optimal control of multibody mechanical systems are stated. The conditions are obtained by the application subdifferential calculus techniques to extended-valued lower semi-continuous generalized Bolza functional that is evaluated on multiple intervals. Contrary to the approach in literature so far, the instant of possibly impulsive transition is considered … Read more

Projections Onto Super-Half-Spaces for Monotone Variational Inequality Problems in Finite-Dimensional Spaces

The variational inequality problem (VIP) is considered here. We present a general algorithmic scheme which employs projections onto hyperplanes that separate balls from the feasible set of the VIP instead of projections onto the feasible set itself. Our algorithmic scheme includes the classical projection method and Fukushima’s subgradient projection method as special cases. CitationTechnical report: … Read more

An LPCC Approach to Nonconvex Quadratic Programs

Filling a gap in nonconvex quadratic programming, this paper shows that the global resolution of a feasible quadratic program (QP), which is not known a priori to be bounded or unbounded below, can be accomplished in finite time by solving a linear program with linear complementarity constraints, i.e., an LPCC. Alternatively, this task can be … Read more
