Conference ·
OSTI ID:36302

The following mathematical programming with variational inequality constraints, also called {open_quotes}Generalized bilevel programming problem{close_quotes}, is considered: minimize f(x, y) subject to x {element_of} U and y {element_of} S(x) where S(x) is the solution set of a parametrized variational inequality; i.e., S(x) = {l_brace}y {element_of} U(x): F(x, y){sup T} (y-z){<=} 0 {forall}z {element_of} U (x){r_brace} with f : R{sup n} {times} R{sup m} {yields} {bar R}, F : R{sup n} {times} R{sup m} - R{sup n} and U(x) = {l_brace}y {element_of} {Gamma}{sup T} c{sub i} (x, y) {<=} 0 for 1 = 1, p{r_brace} with c : R{sup n} {times} R{sup m} {yields} R and U{sub ad}, {Gamma} be compact subsets of R{sup m} and R{sup n} respectively. Approximations will be presented to guarantee not only existence of solutions but also convergence of them under perturbations of the data. Connections with previous results obtained when the lower level problem is an optimization one, will be given.
