Abstract

Given a continuous function and , the non-linear complementarity problem \(\text{ NCP }(g,q)\) is to find a vector such that

$$\begin{aligned} x \ge 0,~~y:=g(x) +q\ge 0~~\text{ and }~~x^Ty=0. \end{aligned}$$

We say that g has the Globally Uniquely Solvable (\(\text{ GUS }\))-property if \(\text{ NCP }(g,q)\) has a unique solution for all and C-property if \(\mathrm{NCP}(g,q)\) has a convex solution set for all . In this paper, we find a class of non-linear functions that have the \(\text{ GUS }\)-property and C-property. These functions are constructed by some special tensors which are positive semidefinite. We call these tensors as Gram tensors.
