Smoothing Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm for solving non-Lipschitz absolute value equations

Abstract In this study, we concentrate on solving the problem of non-Lipschitz absolute value equations (NAVE). A new Bezier curve based smoothing technique is introduced and a new Levenberg–Marquardt type algorithm is developed depending on the smoothing technique. The numerical performance of the algorithm is analysed by considering some well-known and randomly generated test problems. Finally, the comparison with other methods is illustrated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
