Bilevel Optimization

Part of the book series: Springer Optimization and Its Applications ((SOIA,volume 161))

Abstract

Bilevel optimization problems are hierarchical optimization problems where the feasible region of the so-called upper level problem is restricted by the graph of the solution set mapping of the lower level problem. Aim of this article is to collect a large number of references on this topic, to show the diversity of contributions and to support young colleagues who try to start research in this challenging and interesting field.
