On sparse solution of tensor complementarity problem

Abstract

In this article we consider the sparse solutions of the tensor complementarity problem (TCP) which are the solutions of the smallest cardinality. We establish a connection between the least element of the feasible solution set of TCP and sparse solution for $Z$-tensor. We propose a $p$ norm regularized minimization model when $p\in (0,1)$ and show that it can approximate sparse solution applying the regularization of parameter. Keywords: Tensor complementarity problem, sparse solution, $l_p$ regularized minimization, $Z$-tensor.
