A recursive semi-smooth Newton method for linear complementarity problems

A primal feasible active set method is presented for finding the unique solution of a Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP) with a P-matrix, which extends the globally convergent active set method for strictly convex quadratic problems with simple bounds proposed by [P. Hungerlaender and F. Rendl. A feasible active set method for strictly convex problems with … Read more

Solving piecewise linear equations in abs-normal form

With the ultimate goal of iteratively solving piecewise smooth (PS) systems, we consider the solution of piecewise linear (PL) equations. PL models can be derived in the fashion of automatic or algorithmic differentiation as local approximations of PS functions with a second order error in the distance to a given reference point. The resulting PL … Read more

The s-Monotone Index Selection Rule for Criss-Cross Algorithms of Linear Complementarity Problems

In this paper we introduce the s-monotone index selection rules for the well-known crisscross method for solving the linear complementarity problem (LCP). Most LCP solution methods require a priori information about the properties of the input matrix. One of the most general matrix properties often required for finiteness of the pivot algorithms (or polynomial complexity … Read more

AN EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR SECOND-ORDER CONE LINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

Recently, the globally uniquely solvable (GUS) property of the linear transformation $M\in R^{n\times n}$ in the second-order cone linear complementarity problem (SOCLCP) receives much attention and has been studied substantially. Yang and Yuan [30] contributed a new characterization of the GUS property of the linear transformation, which is formulated by basic linear-algebra-related properties. In this … Read more

Interior point methods for sufficient LCP in a wide neighborhood of the central path with optimal iteration complexity

Three interior point methods are proposed for sufficient horizontal linear complementarity problems (HLCP): a large update path following algorithm, a first order corrector-predictor method, and a second order corrector-predictor method. All algorithms produce sequences of iterates in the wide neighborhood of the central path introduced by Ai and Zhang. The algorithms do not depend on … Read more

An algorithmic characterization of P-matricity

It is shown that a matrix $M$ is a P-matrix if and only if, whatever is the vector $q$, the Newton-min algorithm does not cycle between two points when it is used to solve the linear complementarity problem $0\leq x\perp (Mx+q)\geq0$.

An efficient matrix splitting method for the second-order cone complementarity problem

Given a symmetric and positive (semi)definite $n$-by-$n$ matrix $M$ and a vector, in this paper, we consider the matrix splitting method for solving the second-order cone linear complementarity problem (SOCLCP). The matrix splitting method is among the most widely used approaches for large scale and sparse classical linear complementarity problems (LCP), and its linear convergence … Read more

Linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones: Characterization of Qb-transformations and existence results

This paper is devoted to the study of the {symmetric cone linear complementarity problem} (SCLCP). In this context, our aim is to characterize the class Q_b in terms of larger classes, such as Q and R_0. For this, we introduce the class F and García’s transformations. We studied them for concrete particular instances (such as … Read more

Subspace accelerated matrix splitting algorithms for bound-constrained quadratic programming and linear complementarity problems

This paper studies the solution of two problems—bound-constrained quadratic programs and linear complementarity problems—by two-phase methods that consist of an active set prediction phase and a subspace phase. The algorithms enjoy favorable convergence properties under weaker assumptions than those assumed for other methods in the literature. The active set prediction phase employs matrix splitting iterations … Read more

The Linear Complementarity Problem, Lemke Algorithm, Perturbation, and the Complexity Class PPAD

We present a single sufficient condition for the processability of the Lemke algorithm for semimonotone Linear Complementarity problems (LCP) which unifies several sufficient conditions for a number of well known subclasses of semimonotone LCPs. In particular, we study the close relationship of these problems to the complexity class PPAD. Next, we show that these classes … Read more
