Pivoting in Linear Complementarity: Two Polynomial-Time Cases
We study the behavior of simple principal pivoting methods for the P-matrix linear complementarity problem (P-LCP). We solve an open problem of Morris by showing that Murty’s least-index pivot rule (under any fixed index order) leads to a quadratic number of iterations on Morris’s highly cyclic P-LCP examples. We then show that on K-matrix LCP instances, all pivot rules require only a linear nu...
متن کاملA pivoting algorithm for linear programming with linear complementarity constraints
We present a pivoting algorithm for solving linear programs with linear complementarity constraints. Our method generalizes the simplex method for linear programming to deal with complementarity conditions. We develop an anticycling scheme that can verify Bouligand stationarity. We also give an optimizationbased technique to find an initial feasible vertex. Starting with a feasible vertex, our ...
متن کاملA Class of Linear Complementarity Problems Solvable in Polynomial Time
We describe a “condition” number for the linear complementarity problem (LCP), which characterizes the degree of difficulty for its solution when a potential reduction algorithm is used. Consequently, we develop a class of LCPs solvable in polynomial time. The result suggests that the convexity (or positive semidefiniteness) of the LCP may not be the basic issue that separates LCPs solvable and...
متن کاملA New Principal Pivoting Scheme for Box Linear Complementarity Problems**
Judice and Pires developed in recent years principal pivoting methods for the solving of the so-called box linear complementarity problems (BLCPs) where the constraint matrices are restrictedly supposed to be of P–matrices. This paper aims at presenting a new principal pivoting scheme for BLCPs where the constraint matrices are loosely supposed to be row sufficient. This scheme can be applied t...
متن کاملA Linear Complementarity Theorem to solve any Satisfiability Problem in conjunctive normal form in polynomial time
Any satisfiability problem in conjunctive normal form can be solved in polynomial time by reducing it to a 3-sat formulation and transforming this to a Linear Complementarity problem (LCP) which is then solved as a linear program (LP). Any instance in this problem class, reduced to a LCP may be solved, provided certain necessary and sufficient conditions hold. The proof that these conditions wi...
