摘要

This paper focuses on the study of differential properties of the symmetric matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister (FB) function. As the main results, the formulas for the directional derivative, the B-subdifferential and the generalized Jacobian of the symmetric matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function are established, which can be utilized in designing implementable Newton-type algorithms for nonsmooth equations involving the symmetric matrix-valued FB function.
