Abstract

This work is motivated by a conjecture of Che et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 168:475–487, 2016) which says that if the feasible region of a tensor complementarity problem is nonempty, then the corresponding optimization problem has a solution. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, we show several sufficient conditions for the solution existence of the optimization problems corresponding to polynomial complementarity problems. Consequently, some results for tensor complementarity problems are obtained. Second, we disprove the conjecture by giving a counterexample.
