Abstract

This paper presents a sequential quadratic programming algorithm forcomputing a stationary point of a mathematical program with linearcomplementarity constraints. The algorithm is based on a reformulation ofthe complementarity condition as a system of semismooth equations by meansof Fischer-Burmeister functional, combined with a classical penalty functionmethod for solving constrained optimization problems. Global convergence ofthe algorithm is established under appropriate assumptions. Some preliminarycomputational results are reported.
