Abstract

It has been an open question whether the family of merit functions φp (p > 1), the generalized Fischer-Burmeister (FB) merit function, associated to the second-order cone is smooth or not. In this paper we answer it partly, and show that φp is smooth for p ∈ (1, 4), and we provide the condition for its coerciveness. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the influence of p on the performance of the merit function method based on φp.
