Finding solutions of implicit complementarity problems by isotonicity of the metric projection

Isac and Németh [G. Isac and A. B. Németh, Projection method, isotone projection cones and the complementarity problem, J. Math. Anal. App., 153, 258-275(1990)] proved that solving a coincidence point equation (fixed point problem) in turn solves the corresponding implicit complementarity problem (nonlinear complementarity problem) and they exploited the isotonicity of the metric projection onto isotone projection cones to solve implicit complementarity problems (nonlinear complementarity problems) defined by these cones. In this paper, the notion of *-isotone projection cones is employed and an iterative algorithm is presented in connection with an implicit complementarity problem on *-isotone projection cones. It is proved that if the sequence generated through the defined algorithm is convergent, then its limit is a solution of the coincidence point equation and thus solves the implicit complementarity problem. Sufficient conditions are given for this sequence to be convergent for implicit complementarity problems defined by *-isotone projection cones. The question of finding nonzero solutions of these problems is also studied.
