Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new subclass of P-matrices called \({{B}_{k}}\) -matrices, which contains \(B\) -matrices and \({{B}_{1}}\) -matrices, propose some properties of \({{B}_{k}}\) -matrices, and analyze the relationships among \({{B}_{k}}\) -matrices and other matrices. Moreover, we derive two infinity norm upper bounds of the inverse for \({{B}_{k}}\) -matrices. Furthermore, based on new infinity norm bounds, we present error bounds for the linear complementarity problems of \({{B}_{k}}\) -matrices. Numerical examples show that the obtained results can improve some existing bounds.
