Abstract

We define the first nontrivial polynomially recognizable subclass of P-matrixGeneralized Linear Complementarity Problems (GLCPs) with a subexponential pivot rule. No such classes/rules were previously known. We show that a subclass of Shapley turn-based stochastic games, subsuming Condon's simple stochastic games, is reducible to the new class of GLCPs. Based on this we suggest the new strongly subexponential combinatorial algorithms for these games.
