Abstract
Matrices with a certain pattern are defined and their properties are studied. A reduction theorem is stated and proved which can be used to reduce the size of the linear complementarity problem defined by a matrix with the pattern. The identification of the pattern and the reduction theorem provide a mathematical model for a problem in structural mechanics when a certain symmetry prevails in the structural problem to be analyzed.
