    We consider several hierarchical optimization problems: (generalized) semi-infinite and existence-constrained semi-infinite programs, minmax, and bilevel programs. Multiple adaptive discretization-based algorithms have been published for these problem classes in recent decades. However, rigorous numerical performance comparisons between these algorithms are lacking. Indeed, if numerical comparisons are provided at all, they typically compare a small selection of … Read more

    The proof of convergence of adaptive discretization-based algorithms for semi-infinite programs (SIPs) usually relies on compact host sets for the upper- and lower-level variables. This assumption is violated in some applications, and we show that indeed convergence problems can arise when discretization-based algorithms are applied to SIPs with unbounded variables. To mitigate these convergence problems, … Read more
