Abstrakt: We introduce unique sink orientations of grids as digraph models for many well-studied problems, including linear programming over products of simplices and generalized linear complementarity problems over P-matrices (PGLCP). We investigate the combinatorial structure of such orientations and develop randomized algorithms for finding the sink. We show that the orientations arising from PGLCP satisfy the combinatorial Holt-Klee condition known to hold for polytope digraphs, and we give the first expected linear-time algorithms for solving PGLCP with a fixed number of blocks.
