Abstract: A modified nonsmooth Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method is presented for vertical complementarity problem (VCP) in this paper. Compared with the existing ones, the method employs not only a new subdifferential, which is easier to obtain than B-differential, but also an adjusting strategy for the LM parameter to ensure that the LM step is not too small, so that the iterations move fast to the solution set. Moreover, the global convergence of the algorithm is obtained under some mild conditions and two numerical examples are given to illustrate its feasibility.
