We study relaxations for linear programs with complementarity constraints, especially instances whose complementary pairs of variables are not independent. Our formulation is based on identifying vertex covers of the conflict graph of the instance and generalizes the extended reformulation-linearization technique of Nguyen, Richard, and Tawarmalani to instances with general complementarity conditions between variables. We demonstrate how to obtain strong cutting planes for our formulation from both the stable set polytope and the boolean quadric polytope associated with a complete bipartite graph. Through an extensive computational study for three types of practical problems, we assess the performance of our proposed linear relaxation and new cutting-planes in terms of the optimality gap closed.
