A generalized Newton method for absolute value equations. (English) Zbl 1154.90599
Summary: A direct generalized Newton method is proposed for solving the NP-hard absolute value equation (AVE) $Ax-|x|=b$ when the singular values of $A$ exceed 1. A simple MATLAB implementation of the method solved 100 randomly generated 1,000-dimensional AVEs to an accuracy of ${10}^{-6}$ in less than 10 s each. Similarly, AVEs corresponding to 100 randomly generated linear complementarity problems with $1,000×1,000$ nonsymmetric positive definite matrices were also solved to the same accuracy in less than 29 s each.
