We study nonsmooth generalized complementarity problems based on the generalized Fisher-Burmeister function and its generalizations, denoted by GCP(f,g) wherefandgareH-differentiable. We describeH-differentials of some GCP functions based on the generalized Fisher-Burmeister function and its generalizations, and their merit functions. Under appropriate conditions on theH-differentials offandg, we show that a local/global minimum of a merit function (or a “stationary point” of a merit function) is coincident with the solution of the given generalized complementarity problem. When specializing GCP(f,g)to the nonlinear complementarity problems, our results not only give new results but also extend/unify various similar results proved forC1, semismooth, and locally Lipschitzian.

In this paper, we extend a class of merit functions proposed by Kanzow et al. (1997) for linear/nonlinear complementarity problems to Symmetric Cone Complementarity Problems (SCCP). We show that these functions have several interesting properties, and establish a global error bound for the solution to the SCCP as well as the level boundedness of every merit function under some mild assumptions. Moreover, several functions are demonstrated to enjoy these properties.
