Description/Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding a convex function which interpolates given points and has a minimal L2 norm of the second derivative. This problem reduces to a system of equations involving semismooth functions. We study a Newton-type method utilizing Clarke's generalized Jacobian and prove that its local convergence is superlinear. For a special choice of a matrix in the generalized Jacobian, we obtain the Newton method proposed by Irvine et al. and settle the question of its convergence. By using a line search strategy, we present a global extension of the Newton method considered. The efficiency of the proposed global strategy is confirmed with numerical experiments.
