Abstract
In this paper, we propose a second-order corrector interior-point algorithm for solving P(k) linear complementarity problems. The method generates a sequence of iterates in a wide neighborhood of the central path introduced by Ai and Zhang. In each iteration, the method computes a corrector direction in addition to the Ai-Zhang direction, in an attempt to improve performance. The algorithm does not depend on the handicap  of the problem, so that it can be used for any P(k)–linear complementarity problems. It is shown that the iteration complexity bound of the algorithm is O(1 + k)3 pnL. Some numerical results are provided to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
