Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a class of differential linear stochastic complementarity system consisting of an ordinary differential equation and a stochastic complementarity problem. The existence of solutions for such system is obtained under two cases of the coefficient matrix of the linear stochastic complementarity problem: P-matrix and positive semi-definite matrix. As for the first case, the sample average approximate method and time-stepping method are adopted to get the numerical solutions. Furthermore, a regularization approximation is introduced to the second case to ensure the uniqueness of solutions. The corresponding convergence analysis is conducted, and numerical examples are presented to illustrate the convergence results we derived. Finally, we provide numerical results which come from applications involving dynamic traffic flow problems to support our theorems.
