Abstract

In this small note, we observe some extremal behaviors of Murty's least index method for solving linear complementarity problems. In particular, we show that the expected number of steps for solving Murty's exponential example with a random permutation of variable indices is exactly equal ton, wheren is the size of the input square matrix.
