Strong Convergence of a Two-Step Modified Newton Method for Weighted Complementarity Problems
This paper focuses on the weighted complementarity problem (WCP), which is widely used in the fields of economics, sciences and engineering. Not least because of its local superlinear convergence rate, smoothing Newton methods have widespread application
