Mixed Linear Complementarity Problems (MLCP)

Mixed Linear Complementarity Problems (MLCP)#

Problem statement#

Find \((z,w)\) such that:

\[\begin{split}\left\{ \begin{array}{l} M \ z + q = w \\ w_1=0 \\ 0 \le w_{2} \perp v \ge 0 \end{array} \right. \text{ with } z= \left[ \begin{array}{c} u\\ v\\ \end{array} \right] \text{ and } w= \left[ \begin{array}{c} w_{1}\\ w_{2}\\ \end{array} \right]\end{split}\]

\(u, w_{1}\) are vectors of size n.

\(v, w_{2}\) are vectors of size m.

Another storage is also possible for the MLCP problem:

Try \((u,v,w)\) such that:

\(\left\lbrace \begin{array}{l} A u + Cv +a =0\\ D u + Bv +b = w \\ 0 \le v \perp w \ge 0\\ \end{array} \right.\)

where A is an ( \(n \times n\) ) matrix, B is an ( \(m \times m\) ) matrix, C is an ( \(n \times m\) ) matrix,

D is an ( \(m \times n\) ) matrix, a and u is an ( \(n\) ) vectors b,v and w is an ( \(m\) ) vectors.

Implementation in numerics#

Structure to define the problem: MixedLinearComplementarityProblem.

The generic driver for all MLCPs is mlcp_driver().

Solvers list MLCP_SOLVER

MLCP solvers must be initialized before any call of the driver. Here is the standard sequence of calls:

  1. Initialize the solver with mlcp_driver_init().

  2. Solve the problemt with mlcp_driver().

  3. Reset the solver with mlcp_driver_reset().

Error computation#

The criterion is based on :

\[error = \frac{1}{\|q\| }\sum_{i} [ (z[i]*(Mz+q)[i])_{+} + (z[i])_{-} + (Mz+q)[i])_{-} ]\]

with \(x_{+} = max(0,x)\) and \(x_{-} = max(0,-x)\).

  • mlcp_compute_error() returns 0 if \(error \leq tolerance\), else 1.

  • A call to this function updates the content of the input vector w with \(Mz + q\).
