The equivalence of Dantzig's self-dual parametric algorithm for linear programs to Lemke's algorithm for linear complementarity problems applied to linear programs: Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6593295

Dantzig has asserted that his self-dual parametric algorithm for solving a linear program is equivalent to Lemke's method for solving a linear complementarity problem when the latter is applied to solve a linear program. In this paper, we formally prove that Dantzig's assertion is correct - specifically that the point reached along the solution path after 2t iterations of Lemke's method is identical with the point reached after t iterations of Dantzig's method.
