“…where θ is a parameter in (0,1], p ∈ (0, ∞) and q ∈ [1, ∞) are two fixed scalars, and a = (a 1 , ..., a n ) T ∈ R n ++ is a fixed vector, for example, a = e. For a P 0 matrix M, it turns out (see [42]) that the above system has a unique solution for each given parameter θ, and this solution, denoted by x(θ), is continuously differentiable on (0,1). Thus, the set {x(θ) : θ ∈ (0, 1]} forms a smooth path approaching to the solution set of the P 0 LCP as θ tends to zero.…”
