优化方法解决无上层约束的线性双层规划问题

In this paper we propose an optimal method for solving the linear bilevel programming problem with no upper-level constraint. The main idea of this method is that the initial point which is in the feasible region goes forward along the optimal direction firstly. When the iterative point reaches the boundary of the feasible region, it can continue to go forward along the suboptimal direction. The iteration is terminated until the iterative point cannot go forward along the suboptimal direction and effective direction, and the new iterative point is the solution of the lower-level programming. An algorithm which bases on the main idea above is presented and the solution obtained via this algorithm is proved to be optimal solution to the bilevel programming problem. This optimal method is effective for solving the linear bilevel programming problem.     

Finding Robust Global Optimal Values of Bilevel Polynomial Programs with Uncertain Linear Constraints

This paper studies a bilevel polynomial program involving box data uncertainties in both its linear constraint set and its lower-level optimization problem. We show that the robust global optimal value of the uncertain bilevel polynomial program is the limit of a sequence of values of Lasserre-type hierarchy of semidefinite linear programming relaxations. This is done by first transforming the uncertain bilevel polynomial program into a single-level non-convex polynomial program using a dual characterization of the solution of the lower-level program and then employing the powerful Putinar’s Positivstellensatz of semi-algebraic geometry. We provide a numerical example to show how the robust global optimal value of the uncertain bilevel polynomial program can be calculated by solving a semidefinite programming problem using the MATLAB toolbox YALMIP.     

The bilevel linear/linear fractional programming problem

Bilevel programming involves two optimization problems where the constraint region of the first level problem is implicitly determined by another optimization problem. In this paper we consider the bilevel linear/linear fractional programming problem in which the objective function of the first level is linear, the objective function of the second level is linear fractional and the feasible region is a polyhedron. For this problem we prove that an optimal solution can be found which is an extreme point of the polyhedron. Moreover, taking into account the relationship between feasible solutions to the problem and bases of the technological coefficient submatrix associated to variables of the second level, an enumerative algorithm is proposed that finds a global optimum to the problem.     

Test problem construction for linear bilevel programming problems

A method of constructing test problems for linear bilevel programming problems is presented. The method selects a vertex of the feasible region, far away from the solution of the relaxed linear programming problem, as the global solution of the bilevel problem. A predetermined number of constraints are systematically selected to be assigned to the lower problem. The proposed method requires only local vertex search and solutions to linear programs.     

A cutting plane method for bilevel linear programming with interval coefficients

This article considers the bilevel linear programming problem with interval coefficients in both objective functions. We propose a cutting plane method to solve such a problem. In order to obtain the best and worst optimal solutions, two types of cutting plane methods are developed based on the fact that the best and worst optimal solutions of this kind of problem occur at extreme points of its constraint region. The main idea of the proposed methods is to solve a sequence of linear programming problems with cutting planes that are successively introduced until the best and worst optimal solutions are found. Finally, we extend the two algorithms proposed to compute the best and worst optimal solutions of the general bilevel linear programming problem with interval coefficients in the objective functions as well as in the constraints.     

Bilevel multiplicative problems: A penalty approach to optimality and a cutting plane based algorithm

Bilevel programming has been proposed for dealing with decision processes involving two decision makers with a hierarchical structure. They are characterised by the existence of two optimisation problems in which the constraint region of the upper level problem is implicitly determined by the lower level optimisation problem. In this paper we focus on the class of bilevel problems in which the upper level objective function is linear multiplicative, the lower level one is linear and the common constraint region is a bounded polyhedron. After replacing the lower level problem by its Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions, the existence of an extreme point which solves the problem is proved by using a penalty function approach. Besides, an algorithm based on the successive introduction of valid cutting planes is developed obtaining a global optimal solution. Finally, we generalise the problem by including upper level constraints which involve both level variables.
