    • Case Studies in Complementarity: Improving Model Formulation 

      Munson, Todd; Ferris, Michael (1998-11-09)
      Over the past several years, many practitioners have been formulating nonlinear variational inequalities as mixed complementarity problems within modeling languages such as GAMS and AMPL. Sometimes the models generated ...
    • Complementarity and Related Problems: a Survey 

      Kanzow, Christian; Ferris, Michael (1998-11-23)
      This survey gives an introduction to some of the recent developments in the fields of complementarity and related problems. After presenting two typical examples and the basic existence and uniqueness results, we focus on ...
    • COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING MECHANICS: MODELS AND SOLUTION 

      Ferris, Michael; Tin-Loi, F. (1999)
      A large class of problems in engineering mechanics involves a so-called ?complementarity? relationship representing the orthogonality of two sign-constrained vectors. Typical instances are plasticity laws and contact-like ...
    • A homotopy method for mixed complementarity problems based on the PATH solver 

      Ralph, D.; Munson, Todd; Ferris, Michael (1999)
      Mixed complementarity problems can be recast as zero finding problems for the normal map, a function that is smooth on the interior o each of the cells of a piecewise linear manifold of IR^n, called normal manifold. We ...
    • The Semismooth Algorithm for Large Scale Complementarity Problems 

      Kanzow, Christian; Fischer, Andreas; Ferris, Michael; Facchinei, Francisco; Munson, Todd (1999-06-18)
      Complementarity solvers are continually being challenged by modelers demanding improved reliability and scalability. Building upon a strong theoretical background, the semismooth algorithm has the potential to meet both ...
