It has been an open question whether the family of merit functionsψp (p>1)\psi _p\ (p>1), the generalized Fischer-Burmeister (FB) merit function, associated to the second-order cone is smooth or not. In this paper we answer it partly, and show thatψp\psi _pis smooth forp∈(1,4)p\in (1,4), and we provide the condition for its coerciveness. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the influence ofppon the performance of the merit function method based onψp\psi _p.
