THE ALGORITHM
-------------

solve A*x = b+w, with x and w subject to certain LCP conditions.
each x(i),w(i) must lie on one of the three line segments in the following
diagram. each line segment corresponds to one index set :

     w(i)
     /|\      |           :
      |       |           :
      |       |i in N     :
  w>0 |       |state[i]=0 :
      |       |           :
      |       |           :  i in C
  w=0 +       +-----------------------+
      |                   :           |
      |                   :           |
  w<0 |                   :           |i in N
      |                   :           |state[i]=1
      |                   :           |
      |                   :           |
      +-------|-----------|-----------|----------> x(i)
             lo           0           hi

the Dantzig algorithm proceeds as follows:
  for i=1:n
    * if (x(i),w(i)) is not on the line, push x(i) and w(i) positive or
      negative towards the line. as this is done, the other (x(j),w(j))
      for j<i are constrained to be on the line. if any (x,w) reaches the
      end of a line segment then it is switched between index sets.
    * i is added to the appropriate index set depending on what line segment
      it hits.

we restrict lo(i) <= 0 and hi(i) >= 0. this makes the algorithm a bit
simpler, because the starting point for x(i),w(i) is always on the dotted
line x=0 and x will only ever increase in one direction, so it can only hit
two out of the three line segments.


NOTES
-----

this is an implementation of "lcp_dantzig2_ldlt.m" and "lcp_dantzig_lohi.m".
the implementation is split into an LCP problem object (dLCP) and an LCP
driver function. most optimization occurs in the dLCP object.

a naive implementation of the algorithm requires either a lot of data motion
or a lot of permutation-array lookup, because we are constantly re-ordering
rows and columns. to avoid this and make a more optimized algorithm, a
non-trivial data structure is used to represent the matrix A (this is
implemented in the fast version of the dLCP object).

during execution of this algorithm, some indexes in A are clamped (set C),
some are non-clamped (set N), and some are "don't care" (where x=0).
A,x,b,w (and other problem vectors) are permuted such that the clamped
indexes are first, the unclamped indexes are next, and the don't-care
indexes are last. this permutation is recorded in the array `p'.
initially p = 0..n-1, and as the rows and columns of A,x,b,w are swapped,
the corresponding elements of p are swapped.

because the C and N elements are grouped together in the rows of A, we can do
lots of work with a fast dot product function. if A,x,etc were not permuted
and we only had a permutation array, then those dot products would be much
slower as we would have a permutation array lookup in some inner loops.

A is accessed through an array of row pointers, so that element (i,j) of the
permuted matrix is A[i][j]. this makes row swapping fast. for column swapping
we still have to actually move the data.

during execution of this algorithm we maintain an L*D*L' factorization of
the clamped submatrix of A (call it `AC') which is the top left nC*nC
submatrix of A. there are two ways we could arrange the rows/columns in AC.

(1) AC is always permuted such that L*D*L' = AC. this causes a problem
    when a row/column is removed from C, because then all the rows/columns of A
    between the deleted index and the end of C need to be rotated downward.
    this results in a lot of data motion and slows things down.
(2) L*D*L' is actually a factorization of a *permutation* of AC (which is
    itself a permutation of the underlying A). this is what we do - the
    permutation is recorded in the vector C. call this permutation A[C,C].
    when a row/column is removed from C, all we have to do is swap two
    rows/columns and manipulate C.

// the leading dimension of the matrix L is always `nskip'.

// at the start there may be other indexes that are unbounded but are not
