Ankara : Department of Industrial Engineering and Institute of Engineering and Sciences, Bilkent Univ., 1997.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1997.Includes bibliographical references.In this thesis, a continuation method for nonlinear complementarity
problems via normal maps that is developed by Chen, Harker and Pinar [8]
is implemented. This continuation method uses the smooth function to
approximate the normal map reformulation of nonlinear complementarity
problems. The algorithm is implemented and tested with two different plussmoothing
functions namely interior point plus-smooth function and piecewise
quadratic plus-smoothing function. These two functions are compared. Testing
of the algorithm is made with several known problems.Erkan, AliM.S
