Abstract: Abstract By equivalently transforming a class of weakly nonlinear complementarity problems into a modulus equation, and introducing a smoothing approximation of the absolute value function, a smoothing Newton method is established for solving the weakly nonlinear complementarity problem. Under some mild assumptions, the proposed method is shown to possess global convergence and locally quadratical convergence. Especially, the global convergence results do not need a priori existence of an accumulation point with some suitable conditions. Numerical results are given to show the efficiency of the proposed method.
