A New Exceptional Family of Elements and Solvability of General Order Complementarity Problems by Na Huang, Changfeng Ma

“…By using the concept of exceptional family, we propose a sufficient condition of a solution to general order complementarity problems (denoted by GOCP) in Banach space, which is weaker than that in Németh, 2010 (Theorem 3.1). Then we study some sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of exceptional family for GOCP in Hilbert space. …”
