Mixed Complementarity Problem (MCP) is a problem formulation in mathematical programming. Many well-known problem types are special cases of, or may be reduced to MCP. It is a generalization of nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP).
The mixed complementarity problem is defined by a mapping , lower values and upper values , with .
The solution of the MCP is a vector such that for each index one of the following alternatives holds:
Another definition for MCP is: it is a variational inequality on the parallelepiped .
