Abstract

This paper addresses one of the classes of bilevel optimization problems in their optimistic statement. The reduction of the bilevel problem to a series of nonconvex mathematical optimization problems, together with the specialized Global Search Theory, is used for developing methods of local and global searches to find optimistic solutions. Illustrative examples show that the approach proposed is prospective and performs well.
