In mathematical optimization, Lemke’s algorithm is a procedure for solving linear complementarity problems, and more generally mixed linear complementarity problems. It is named after Carlton E. Lemke.
Lemke’s algorithm is of pivoting or basis–exchange type. Similar algorithms can compute Nash equilibria for two-person matrix and bimatrix games.
