Iterative algorithms for the linear complementarity problem
Nicholas W. Kappel, Layne T. Watson · International Journal of Computer Mathematics · 1986
Direct complementary pivot algorithms for the linear complementarity problem with P-matrices are known to have exponential computational complexity. The analog of Gauss-Seidel and SOR iteration for linear complementarity problems with P-matrices has not been extensively developed. This paper extends some work of van Bokhoven to a class of nonsymmetric P-matrices, and develops and compares several new iterative algorithms for the linear complementarity problem. Numerical results for several hundred test problems are presented. Such indirect iterative algorithms may prove useful for large sparse complementarity problems.
