摘要

By utilizing a dual complementarity condition, we propose an iterative method for solving the NP-hard absolute value equation (AVE): Ax - |x| = b, where A is an n x n square matrix. The algorithm makes no assumptions on the AVE other than solvability and consists of solving a succession of linear programs. The algorithm was tested on 500 consecutively generated random solvable instances of the AVE with n = 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000. The algorithm solved 90.2 % of the test problems to an accuracy of 10(-8).
