Mixed Complementarity Problem





DEFINITION


The mixed complementarity problem is defined by a mapping F(x): \mathbb{R}^n o \mathbb{R}^n, lower values \ell_i \in \mathbb{R} \cup \{-\infty\} and upper values u_i \in \mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\}.

The solution of the MCP is a vector x \in \mathbb{R} such that for each index i \in \{1, \ldots, n\} one of the following alternatives holds:
  • x_i = \ell_i, \; F_i(x) \ge 0;

  • \ell_i < x_i < u_i, \; F_i(x) = 0;

  • x_i = u_i, \; F_i(x) \le 0.


Another definition for MCP is: it is a Variational Inequality on the parallelepiped u .
