文摘In this paper, a continuation method for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) is proposed. By using the KKT conditions for the variational inequality constraints, the MPEC is firstly reformulated as a nonsmooth constrained optimization problem, then we solve a sequence of smooth perturbation problems, which progressively approximate the nonsmooth problem, and study the convergence of the proposed method. Numerical results showing feasibility of the approach are given.
