Superlinearly convergent smoothing Newton continuation algorithms for variational inequalities over definable sets
In this paper, we use the concept of barrier-based smoothing approximations introduced by Chua and Li to extend various smoothing Newton continuation algorithms to variational inequalities over general closed convex sets X. We prove that when the underlying barrier has a gradient map that is definable in some o-minimal structure, the iterates generated converge superlinearly … Read more
