This work extends the ones of Hu et al. (2008) and Bai et al. (2013) of a logical Benders approach for globally solving Linear Programs with Complementarity Constraints. By interpreting the logical Benders method as a reversed branch-and-bound method, where the whole exploration procedure starts from the leaf nodes in an enumeration tree, we provide … Read more
Complementarity problems are often used to compute equilibria made up of specifically coordinated solutions of different optimization problems. Specific examples are game-theoretic settings like the bimatrix game or energy market models like for electricity or natural gas. While optimization under uncertainties is rather well-developed, the field of equilibrium models represented by complementarity problems under uncertainty … Read more
Diverse optimization algorithms correctly identify, in finite time, intrinsic constraints that must be active at optimality. Analogous behavior extends beyond optimization to systems involving partly smooth operators, and in particular to variational inequalities over partly smooth sets. As in classical nonlinear programming, such active-set structure underlies the design of accelerated local algorithms of Newton type. … Read more
A new extragradient projection method is devised in this paper, which does not obviously require generalized monotonicity and assumes only that the so-called dual variational inequality has a solution in order to ensure its global convergence. In particular, it applies to quasimonotone variational inequality having a nontrivial solution. Article Download View An extragradient method for … Read more
In this note, some results are introduced considering the assumptions of quasiconvexity and nonmonotonicity, finally an application and an idea to solve the quasiconvex equilibrium problem are presented considering these new results.

The paper “An algorithmic characterization of P-matricity” (SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 34:3 (2013) 904–916, by the same authors as here) implicitly assumes that the iterates generated by the Newton-min algorithm for solving a linear complementarity problem of dimension n, which reads 0 ⩽ x ⊥ (M x + q) ⩾ 0, are … Read more
A recent innovation in projective splitting algorithms for monotone operator inclusions has been the development of a procedure using two forward steps instead of the customary proximal steps for operators that are Lipschitz continuous. This paper shows that the Lipschitz assumption is unnecessary when the forward steps are performed in finite-dimensional spaces: a backtracking linesearch … Read more
We propose a novel theoretical framework to investigate deep neural networks using the formalism of proximal fixed point methods for solving variational inequalities. We first show that almost all activation functions used in neural networks are actually proximity operators. This leads to an algorithmic model alternating firmly nonexpansive and linear operators. We derive new results … Read more
In this paper, we generalize the classical extragradient algorithm for solving variational inequality problems by utilizing non-null normal vectors of the feasible set. In particular, conceptual algorithms are proposed with two different linesearches. We then establish convergence results for these algorithms under mild assumptions. Our study suggests that non-null normal vectors may significantly improve convergence … Read more
In the setting of a Euclidean Jordan algebra V with symmetric cone V_+, corresponding to a linear transformation M, a `weight vector’ w in V_+, and a q in V, we consider the weighted linear complementarity problem wLCP(M,w,q) and (when w is in the interior of V_+) the interior point system IPS(M,w,q). When M is … Read more
