Abstract
Recently, the estimation problem of upper and lower bounds of the solution set of the tensor complementarity problem has been studied when the tensor involved is a strictly semi-positive tensor or one of its subclasses. This paper aims to study such an estimation problem in a larger scope. First, we propose a lower bound formula under the condition that the tensor complementarity problem has a solution. When the problem under consideration falls back to several types of problems that have been studied, the achieved result improves the relevant known results. Second, by means of a newly introduced quantity, we give an upper bound formula of the solution set when the problem has a solution and the tensor involved is an \(R_0\)-tensor. This formula is new even when the concerned problem falls back to several problems that have already been discussed. Several examples are also given to confirm our theoretical findings.
