Unboundedness and Infeasibility in Linear Bilevel Optimization: How to Overcome Unbounded Relaxations

Bilevel optimization problems are known to be challenging to solve in practice. In particular, the feasible set of a bilevel problem is, in general, non-convex, even for linear bilevel problems. In this work, we aim to develop a better understanding of the feasible set of linear bilevel problems. Specifically, we develop means by which to … Read more

Presolving Linear Bilevel Optimization Problems

Linear bilevel optimization problems are known to be strongly NP-hard and the computational techniques to solve these problems are often motivated by techniques from single-level mixed-integer optimization. Thus, during the last years and decades many branch-and-bound methods, cutting planes, or heuristics have been proposed. On the other hand, there is almost no literature on presolving … Read more
