Summer 2020: New publication

Two new publications in collaboration have been accepted this summer: On approximate stationary points of the regularized mathematical program with complementarity constraints in JOTA and The new butterfly relaxation method for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints as a book chapter in the proceedings of the Indo-French seminar. These works are constituting the theoretical basis for computing M-stationary points of the MPCC, more will come soon. I also continue to update the Julia code:

• MPCC.jl Set of tools to model the mathematical program with complementarity/switching/vanishing constraints and bilevel programs following the NLPModels framework. The package contains the basic tools to use the Stopping.jl framework.
• MPCCSolver.jl Set of algorithms to solve models from MPCC.jl.

I also had the chance to present A differential inclusion approach to mineral precipitation-dissolution reactions in geochemistry in collaboration with Bastien Hamlat and Jocelyne Erhel in the online Workshop Variational Methods in Nonlinear Phenomena. This work is part of Bastien’s Ph.D. thesis who successfully defended this month, Congrats!
