Abstract
In this article, two types of fractional local error bounds for quadratic complementarity problems are established, one is based on the natural residual function and the other on the standard violation measure of the polynomial equalities and inequalities. These fractional local error bounds are given with explicit exponents. A fractional local error bound with an explicit exponent via the natural residual function is new in the tensor/polynomial complementarity problems literature. The other fractional local error bounds take into account the sparsity structures, from both the algebraic and the geometric perspectives, of the third-order tensor in a quadratic complementarity problem. They also have explicit exponents, which improve the literature significantly.

Notes
Actually, an arbitrary system of polynomial equalities and inequalities can be reduced to a system of quadratic polynomial equalities and inequalities via polynomial reduction. This technique will be presented in Sect. 4.
The first version only gave the proof for \({\mathbf {x}}\in V(\epsilon )\). One referee suggested the current version.
