Description In this thesis, a new smoothing penalty algorithm is introduced to solve a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). By smoothing the exact penalty function, an MPEC is reformulated as a series of subprograms which belong to a class of MPECs with simple linear complementarity constraints. To deal with the subproblems, a hybrid algorithm is proposed, which combines the active set algorithm, the 6-active search algorithm and the PSQP algorithm. It is shown that the smoothing penalty algorithm converges globally to a M-stationary point of MPEC under weak conditions.
