uv-decomposition method for solving a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints （MPEC） problem with linear complementarity constraints is presented. The problem is first converted into a nonlinear programming one. The structure of subdifferential a corresponding penalty function and results of its uv-decomposition are given. A conceptual algorithm for solving this problem with a superUnear convergence rate is then constructed in terms of the obtained results.
A vu-decomposition method for solving a second-order cone problem is presented in this paper. It is first transformed into a nonlinear programming problem. Then, the structure of the Clarke subdifferential corresponding to the penalty function and some results of itsvu-decomposition are given. Under a certain condition, a twice continuously differentiable trajectory is computed to produce a second-order expansion of the objective function. A conceptual algorithm for solving this problem with a superlinear convergence rate is given.
