Most of these examples are manifestations of complementarity, with a common explicit or implicit theoretical basis in properties of a super-modular function on a lattice. Supermodular functions yield a characterization for complementarity and extend the notion of complementarity to a general setting that is a natural mathematical context for studying complementarity and monotone UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=74941 ER -
