Topological degree theory can be applied to maps defined from Linear Complementarity Problems, as has been done by Howe and Stone, Ha, and Stewart. It is shown here that the definitions of Howe and Stone, and Stewart, are equivalent. Also a new family of matrices is defined whose degrees' magnitudes increase exponentially as 2n/√2πn, whereas Howe and Stone give examples whose degrees go as (22/5)n.
