A New Modified Newton-Type Iteration Method for Solving Generalized Absolute Value Equations (2103.09452v3)

Abstract: A shift splitting modified Newton-type (SSMN) iteration method is introduced for solving large sparse generalized absolute value equations (GAVEs). The SSMN method is established by replacing the regularized splitting of the coefficient matrix of the linear part, which is employed in the modified Newton-type (MN) iteration method, with the shift splitting of the matrix. The conditions for the convergence of the proposed method are discussed in depth for the cases when the coefficient matrix is a general matrix, a symmetric positive definite matrix, and an $H_{+}$-matrix. Through two numerical examples, we find that the SSMN and MN methods complement each other. The optimal performances of the two methods depend on the definiteness of the coefficient matrix of the linear part. The MN method is more efficient when the coefficient matrix is positive definite, whereas the SSMN method has a better performance when the coefficient matrix is indefinite.
