Synopsis

During the past twenty years, the linear complementarity problem has emerged as an important development in mathematical programming and numerical linear algebra. The Linear Complementarity Problem is a text designed to be suitable for both classroom use and as a references for researchers. The book is ideal for graduate students pursuing an advanced degree in operations research, but it is also of importance for many related fields of study, such as: computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, business studies, etc.


* First comprehensive introductory text on the linear complementarity problem (LCP).
* Involves all three major aspects on the LCP: theory, applications, and computation.
* Text includes numerous exercises to illustrate the theory and computational procedures presented.

About this title

Book Description

Awarded the Frederick W. Lanchester Prize in 1994 for its valuable contributions to operations research and the management sciences, this mathematically rigorous book remains the standard reference on the linear complementarity problem. Great as a graduate-level course or for self-study.

About the Author
