Abstract

In this chapter, we study various mathematical programming problems in a common framework known as linear complementarity problem. Solving a linear complementarity problem depends on the properties of its underlying matrix class. In this chapter, we discuss matrix theoretic properties of some recent matrix classes encountered in linear complementarity literature and its processability using Lemke’s algorithm.
