✦ Synopsis


In the setting of semidefinite linear complementarity problems on S n , the implications strict monotonicity ⇒ P 2 ⇒ GUS ⇒ P are known. Here, P and P 2 properties for a linear transformation L : S n → S n are respectively defined by: X

to the global unique solvability in semidefinite linear complementarity problems corresponding to L. In this article, we show that the reverse implications hold for any self-adjoint linear transformation, and for normal Lyapunov and Stein transformations. By introducing the concept of a principal subtransformation of a linear transformation, we show that L : S n → S n has the P 2 -property if and only if for every n × n real invertible matrix Q, every principal subtransformation of L has the P-property where L(X) := Q T L(QXQ T )Q. Based on this, we show that P 2 , GUS, and P properties coincide for the two-sided multiplication transformation.
