Abstract

For a locally optimal solution to the nonlinear semidefinite programming problem, under Robinson's constraint qualification, we show that the nonsingularity of Clarke's Jacobian of the Fischer-Burmeister (FB) nonsmooth system is equivalent to the strong regularity of the Karush- Kuhn-Tucker point. Consequently, from Sun's paper [Math. Oper. Res., 31 (2006), pp. 761-776] the semismooth Newton method applied to the FB system may attain the locally quadratic convergence under the strong second order sufficient condition and constraint nondegeneracy.
