            Abstract : 
A nonmonotone smoothing Newton algorithm is presented for solving the symmetric conic linear programming (SCLP). The proposed algorithm reformulates the SCLP as a nonlinear system of equations and then applies Newton´s method to the system of equations. It is shown that the algorithm is globally and locally quadratically convergent under suitable assumptions.
