Abstract Applications of the standard linear complementarity problem framework are prevalent in various disciplines including economics and engineering. I will motivate the problem using the complementary slackness conditions from linear programming and then develop several extensions and applications. Many solution methods reformulate the complementarity conditions as a system of nonsmooth equations and apply a nonsmooth Newton method. I will discuss one such algorithm, PATH, which is based on the normal map reformulation. Recent theoretical developments related to PATH are given and details about a practical implementation are presented.
