<abstract><p>In this paper, we introduce a new subclass of $ P $-matrices called Cvetković-Kostić-Varga type $ B $-matrices (CKV-type $ B $-matrices), which contains DZ-type-$ B $-matrices as a special case, and present an infinity norm bound for the inverse of CKV-type $ B $-matrices. Based on this bound, we also give an error bound for linear complementarity problems of CKV-type $ B $-matrices. It is proved that the new error bound is better than that provided by Li et al. <sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref>]</sup> for DZ-type-$ B $-matrices, and than that provided by M. García-Esnaola and J.M. Peña <sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref>]</sup> for $ B $-matrices in some cases. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.</p></abstract>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
