Generalized principal pivot transforms, complementarity theory and their applications in stochastic games. (English) Zbl 1258.90087

Summary: We revisit the concept of principal pivot transform and its generalization in the context of vertical linear complementarity problem. We study solution sets and solution rays of a vertical linear complementarity problem. Finally, we present an application of generalized principal pivot transforms in the game theory.
