Computation of Error Bounds for P-matrix Linear Complementarity Problems

We give new error bounds for the linear complementarity problem where the involved matrix is a P-matrix. Computation of rigorous error bounds can be turned into a P-matrix linear interval system. Moreover, for the involved matrix being an H-matrix with positive diagonals, an error bound can be found by solving a linear system of equations, which is sharper than the Mathias-Pang error bound. Preliminary numerical results show that the proposed error bound is efficient for verifying accuracy of approximate solutions.
