Lattice-like operations and isotone projection sets

By using some lattice-like operations which constitute extensions of ones introduced by M. S. Gowda, R. Sznajder and J. Tao for self-dual cones, a new perspective is gained on the subject of isotonicity of the metric projection onto the closed convex sets. The results of this paper are wide range generalizations of some results of the authors obtained for self-dual cones. The aim of the subsequent investigations is to put into evidence some closed convex sets for which the metric projection is isotonic with respect the order relation which give rise to the above mentioned lattice-like operations. The topic is related to variational inequalities where the isotonicity of the metric projection is an important technical tool. For Euclidean sublattices this approach was considered by G. Isac and respectively by H. Nishimura and E. A. Ok.Comment: Proofs of Theorem 1 and Corollary 4 have been corrected. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1210.232

Linear complementarity problems on extended second order cones

In this paper, we study the linear complementarity problems on extended second order cones. We convert a linear complementarity problem on an extended second order cone into a mixed complementarity problem on the non-negative orthant. We state necessary and sufficient conditions for a point to be a solution of the converted problem. We also present solution strategies for this problem, such as the Newton method and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Finally, we present some numerical examples
