the previous statement was somewhat misleading -- M *must* be P.D. in order for the objective to be convex in the first place; this is not a special requirement of Lemke's or Dantzig's algorithms

Line 18:
Indeed, these constraints ensure that ''f'' is always non-negative, so that it attains a minimum of 0 at '''x''' if and only if '''x''' solves the linear complementarity problem.
 
AlthoughIf any'''M''' quadraticis programming[[Positive-definite matrix|positive definite]], any algorithm for solving (convex) [[Quadratic programming|QPs]] can of course be used to solve an LCP. However, there also exist more efficient, specialized algorithms, such as [[Lemke's algorithm]] and [[Dantzig's algorithm]].
