A Semismooth Newton Method for Tensor Eigenvalue Complementarity Problem
In this paper, we consider the tensor eigenvalue complementarity problem
which is closely related to the optimality conditions for polynomial
optimization, as well as a class of differential inclusions with nonconvex
processes. By introducing an NCP-function, we reformulate the tensor eigenvalue
complementarity problem as a system of nonlinear equations. We show that this
function is strongly semismooth but not differentiable, in which case the
classical smoothing methods cannot apply. Furthermore, we propose a damped
semismooth Newton method for tensor eigenvalue complementarity problem. A new
procedure to evaluate an element of the generalized Jocobian is given, which
turns out to be an element of the B-subdifferential under mild assumptions. As
a result, the convergence of the damped semismooth Newton method is guaranteed
by existing results. The numerical experiments also show that our method is
efficient and promising
