Second order directional derivative of optimal solution function in parametric programming problem

In this paper, the second-order directional derivative of the optimal value function and the optimal solution function are obtained for a strongly stable parametric problem with non-unique Lagrange multipliers. Some properties of the Lagrange multipliers are proved. It is justified that the second-order directional derivative of the optimal solution function for the parametric problem can … Read more

Descent Scheme for a Class of Bilevel Programming Problems

In this paper, a class of bilevel programming problems is studied, in which the lower level is a quadratic programming problem, and the upper level problem consists of a nonlinear objective function with coupling constraints. An iterative process is developed to generate a sequence of points, which converges to the solution of this problem. In … Read more
