Abstract
Given ann × n matrixA and anndimensional vectorq letNA q be the cardinality of the set of solutions to the linear complementarity problem defined byA andq It is shown that ifA is nondegenerate thenNA q + NA −q ⩽ 2 n which in turn impliesNA q ⩽ 2 n − 1 ifA is also aQmatrixIt is then demonstrated that min q≠0 NA q ⩽ 2 n−1 − 1 which concludes that the complementary cones cannot spanR n more than 2 n−1 − 1 times around For anyn an example of ann × n nondegenerateQmatrix spanning allR n but a subset of empty interior 2n/3 times around is given
