This article proposes a novel adaptive neurodynamic algorithm (ANA) to seek generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) of the noncooperative constrained game with different monotone conditions. In the ANA, the adaptive penalty term, which acts as trajectory-dependent penalty parameters, evolves based on the degree of constraints violation until the trajectory enters the action set of noncooperative game. It is shown that the trajectory of the ANA enters the action set in finite time benefited from the adaptive penalty term. Moreover, it is proven that the trajectory exponentially (or polynomially) converges to the unique GNE when the pseudo-gradient of cost function in noncooperative game satisfies strong (or "generalized" strong) monotonicity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to study the polynomial convergence of GNE seeking algorithm. Furthermore, when the pseudo-gradient mentioned above satisfies monotonicity in general, based on Tikhonov regularization method, a new ANA for finding its \varepsilon -generalized Nash equilibrium ( \varepsilon -GNE) is proposed, and the related exponential convergence of the algorithm is established. Finally, the river basin pollution game and 5G base station location game are given as examples to showcase the algorithm's effectiveness.
