Firstly, we reformulate the GAVEs as variational inequality problems passing through an equivalent horizontal linear complementarity problem. To approximate the resulting variational inequality, a sequence of nonlinear equations containing a penalty term is then defined. Under a mild assumption, we show that the solution of the considered sequence converges to that of GAVE if the penalty parameter tends to infinity. An algorithm is developed where its corresponding theoretical arguments are well established. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to show that our approach is quite appreciable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms14070488","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,23]],"date-time":"2025-06-23T07:42:34Z","timestamp":1750664554000},"page":"488","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Penalty Approach for Solving Generalized Absolute Value Equations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zahira","family":"Kebaili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundamental and Numerical Laboratory (MFNL), Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Ferhat Abbas Setif-1 University, Algeria Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Hassina","family":"Grar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundamental and Numerical Laboratory (MFNL), Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Ferhat Abbas Setif-1 University, Algeria Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Achache","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundamental and Numerical Laboratory (MFNL), Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Ferhat Abbas Setif-1 University, Algeria Setif 19000, Algeria"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Solving absolute value equations via linear complementarity and interior-point methods","volume":"2018","author":"Achache","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
