LCPSolve(M,q) solves the linear complementarity problem:
w = M*z + q, w and z >= 0, w'*z = 0
The function takes the matrix M and the vector q as arguments. The function has three return variables. The first the vectors w and the second is the vector z, found by complementary pivoting. The third return is a 1 by 2 vector. The first component is a 1 if the algorithm was successful and a 2 if a ray termination resulted. The second component is the number of iterations performed in the outer loop.
