In the context of mixed complementarity problems, various concepts of solution regularity are known, each of them playing a certain role in related theoretical and algorithmic developments. In this note, we provide the complete picture of relations between the most important regularity conditions for mixed complementarity problems. A special attention is paid to the particular cases of a nonlin...

We present in this paper several existence theorems for nonlinear complementarity problems in Hilbert spaces. Our results are based on the concept of “exceptional family of elements” and on Leray–Schauder type altrenatives.

In this paper we consider a general algorithmic framework for solving nonlinear mixed complementarity problems. The main features of this framework are: (a) it is well-deened for an arbitrary mixed complementarity problem, (b) it generates only feasible iterates, (c) it has a strong global convergence theory, and (d) it is locally fast convergent under standard regularity assumptions. This fram...

We consider a polyhedron intersected by a two-term disjunction, and we characterize the polyhedron resulting from taking its closed convex hull. This generalizes an earlier result of Conforti, Wolsey and Zambelli on split disjunctions. We also recover as a special case the valid inequalities derived by Judice, Sherali, Ribeiro and Faustino for linear complementarity problems.

We define a new fundamental constant associated with a P-matrix and show that this constant has various useful properties for the P-matrix linear complementarity problems (LCP). In particular, this constant is sharper than the Mathias-Pang constant in deriving perturbation bounds for the P-matrix LCP. Moreover, this new constant defines a measure of sensitivity of the solution of the P-matrix L...

New local and global error bounds are given for both nonmonotone and monotone linear complementarity problems. Comparisons of various residuals used in these error bounds are given. A possible candidate for a "best" error bound emerges from our comparisons as the sum of two natural residuals.

The paper establishes a computational encIosure of the solution of the linear complementarity problem (q, M), where M is assumed to be an H-matrix with a positive main diagonal. A dass of problems with interval data, which can arise in approximating the solutions of free boundary problems, is also treated successfully.

Although the general linear complementarity problem (LCP) is NP-complete, there are special classes that can be solved in polynomial time. One example is the type where the defining matrix is nondegenerate and for which the n-step property holds. In this paper we consider an extension of the property to the degenerate case by introducing the concept of an extended n-step vector and matrix. It i...

The linear complementarity problem (LCP) is one of the most widely studied mathematical programming problems. The theory of LCP can be extended to oriented matroids which are combinatorial abstractions of linear subspaces of Euclidean spaces. This paper briefly surveys the LCP, oriented matroids and algorithms for the LCP on oriented matroids. key words: linear complementarity problem, oriented...
