Complementarity problems

摘要

This paper provides an introduction to complementarity problems, with an emphasis on applications and solution algorithms. Various forms of complementarity problems are described along with a few sample applications, which provide a sense of what types of problems can be addressed effectively with complementarity problems. The most important algorithms are presented along with a discussion of when they can be used effectively. We also provide a brief introduction to the study of matrix classes and their relation to linear complementarity problems. Finally, we provide a brief summary of current research trends.
