“…For instance, linear complementarity problem, linear programming or convex quadratic programming can be equivalently reformulated in the form of (1) and thus solved as absolute value equations; see [8,12,17,19]. As far as we know, since Mangasarian and Meyer [14] established existence results for this class of absolute value equations (1), the interest for this subject has increased substantially; see [11,13,20] and reference therein.Several algorithms have been designed to solve the systems of AVEs involving smooth, semismooth and Picard techniques; see [1,7,10,21,22]. In [9], Mangasarian applied the nonsmooth Newton method for solving AVE obtaining global Q-linear convergence and showing its numerical effectiveness.…”
