A Class of Linear Complementarity Problems Solvable in Polynomial Time
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a “condition” number for the linear complementarity problem (LCP), which characterizes the degree of difficulty for its solution when a potential reduction algorithm is used. Consequently, we develop a class of LCPs solvable in polynomial time. The result suggests that the convexity (or positive semidefiniteness) of the LCP may not be the basic issue that separates LCPs solvable and not solvable in polynomial time.

A class of polynomially solvable linear complementarity problems
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...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Sign-Solvable Linear Complementarity Problems
This paper presents a connection between qualitative matrix theory and linear complementarity problems (LCPs). An LCP is said to be sign-solvable if the set of the sign patterns of the solutions is uniquely determined by the sign patterns of the given coefficients. We provide a characterization for sign-solvable LCPs such that the coefficient matrix has nonzero diagonals, which can be tested in...
متن کاملImproved infeasible-interior-point algorithm for linear complementarity problems
We present a modified version of the infeasible-interior- We present a modified version of the infeasible-interior-point algorithm for monotone linear complementary problems introduced by Mansouri et al. (Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl. 12(2011) 545--561). Each main step of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step and several centering steps. We use a different feasibility step, which tar...
متن کاملA Full-NT Step Infeasible Interior-Point Algorithm for Mixed Symmetric Cone LCPs
An infeasible interior-point algorithm for mixed symmetric cone linear complementarity problems is proposed. Using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan algebras and Nesterov-Todd search direction, the convergence analysis of the algorithm is shown and proved. Moreover, we obtain a polynomial time complexity bound which matches the currently best known iteration bound for infeasible interior-point ...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
