Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, finance, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical s ...
, a nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) with respect to a mapping ''ƒ'' : R
''n'' → R
''n'', denoted by NCP''ƒ'', is to find a vector ''x'' ∈ R
''n'' such that

where ''ƒ''(''x'') is a smooth mapping. The case of a discontinuous mapping was discussed by Habetler and Kostreva (1978).
