New error bounds for the linear complementarity problem of QN-matrices.

An error bound for the linear complementarity problem (LCP) when the involved matrices are QN-matrices with positive diagonal entries is presented by Dai et al. (Error bounds for the linear complementarity problem of QN-matrices. Calcolo, 53:647-657, 2016), and there are some limitations to this bound because it involves a parameter. In this paper, for LCP with the involved matrix A being a QN-matrix with positive diagonal entries an alternative bound which depends only on the entries of A is given. Numerical examples are given to show that the new bound is better than that provided by Dai et al. in some cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
