It is known that Lemke`s Method will process a degenerate linear complementarity problem when the matrix used in defining the problem belongs to the class of {open_quotes}sufficient matrices{close_quotes}. The same can be said for the Principal Pivoting Method (of Dantzig and Cottle). For the latter algorithm there is a least-index pivoting rule that resolves the problems of degeneracy; that is, it ensures the finiteness of the procedure by preventing cycling. This talk will address the technical problems one encounters in attempting to establish the comparable result for Lemke`s Method.
