Componentwise error bounds for linear complementarity problems are presented. For the problem with an H-matrix the error bound can be computed by solving a system of linear equations. It is proved that our error bound is more accurate than that obtained recently by Chen & Xiang (2006, Math. Prog., Ser. A, 106, 513–525). Numerical results show that the new bound is often much better than previous ones.
Key Words: error bound; linear complementarity problem; convex quadratic programming
