Abstract
A \( \mathcal{U}\mathcal{V} \)-decomposition method for solving a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) problem with linear complementarity constraints is presented. The problem is first converted into a nonlinear programming one. The structure of subdifferential a corresponding penalty function and results of its \( \mathcal{U}\mathcal{V} \)-decomposition are given. A conceptual algorithm for solving this problem with a superlinear convergence rate is then constructed in terms of the obtained results.
