Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a one-parametric class of smoothing functions in the context of symmetric cones which contains two symmetric perturbed smoothing functions as special cases, and show that it is coercive under suitable assumptions. Based on this class of smoothing functions, a smoothing Newton algorithm is extended to solve the complementarity problems over symmetric cones, and it is proved that the proposed algorithm is globally and locally superlinearly convergent under suitable assumptions. The theory of Euclidean Jordan algebras is a basic tool which is extensively used in our analysis. Preliminary numerical results for randomly generated second-order cone programs and several practical second-order cone programs from the DIMACS library are reported.
