In this talk, we study quadratic complementarity problems, which form a subclass of nonlinear complementarity problems with the nonlinear functions being quadratic polynomial mappings. Quadratic complementarity problems serve as an important bridge linking linear complementarity problems and nonlinear complementarity problems. Various properties on the solution set for a quadratic complementarity problem, including existence, compactness and uniqueness, are studied. Several results are established from assumptions given in terms of the comprising matrices of the underlying tensor, henceforth easily checkable. Examples are given to demonstrate that the results improve or generalize the corresponding quadratic complementarity problem counterparts of the well-known nonlinear complementarity problem theory and broaden the boundary knowledge of nonlinear complementarity problems as well.
