Abstract
Linear complementarity problem (LCP) presents many nice properties when the associated matrix belongs to some special matrix classes, especially H-matrices. In this paper, we put forward a new subclass of H-matrices, called S-QN matrices, which is the proper generalization of the QN matrices. We have proved that for a given S-QN matrix A, there exists a diagonal scaling matrix W such that AW is a QN matrix. Then, we present two kinds of error bounds for LCP of S-QN matrices. The Error Bound I generalizes the error bound for LCP of QN matrices. The Error Bound II overcomes the limitation that the Error Bound I cannot be used. Numerical examples illustrate that the Error Bound I is better than other previous bounds for H-matrices in some cases. Moreover, in some special cases, the Error Bound II can improve considerably the Error Bound I.
