In combining the value function approach and tangential subdifferentials, we establish  necessary optimality conditions of  a nonsmooth multiobjective bilevel programming problem under a suitable constraint qualification. The upper level objectives and constraint functions are neither assumed to be necessarily locally Lipschitz nor convex.

We consider a nonsmooth semi-infinite interval-valued vector programming problem, where the objectives and constraints functions need not to be locally Lipschitz. Using Abadie's constraint qualification and convexificators, we provide  Karush-Kuhn-Tucker necessary optimality conditions by converting the initial problem into a bi-criteria optimization problem. Furthermore, we establish sufficient optimality conditions  under the asymptotic convexity assumption.

In this paper, a multiobjective fractional bilevel programming problem is considered and optimality conditions using the concept of convexifactors are established for it. For this purpose, a suitable constraint qualification in terms of convexifactors is introduced for the problem. Further in the paper, notions of asymptotic pseudoconvexity, asymptotic quasiconvexity in terms of convexifactors are given and using them sufficient optimality conditions are derived.

The bilevel program is an optimization problem in which the constraint involves solutions to a parametric optimization problem. It is well known that the value function reformulation provides an equivalent single-level optimization problem, but it results in a nonsmooth optimization problem that never satisfies the usual constraint qualification, such as the Mangasarian–Fromovitz constraint qualification (MFCQ). In this paper, we show that even the first order sufficient condition for metric subregularity (which is, in general, weaker than MFCQ) fails at each feasible point of the bilevel program. We introduce the concept of a directional calmness condition and show that, under the directional calmness condition, the directional necessary optimality condition holds. Although the directional optimality condition is, in general, sharper than the nondirectional one, the directional calmness condition is, in general, weaker than the classical calmness condition and, hence, is more likely to hold. We perform the directional sensitivity analysis of the value function and propose the directional quasi-normality as a sufficient condition for the directional calmness. An example is given to show that the directional quasi-normality condition may hold for the bilevel program.

The main aim of this paper is to develop necessary Optimality conditions using Convexifactors for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). For this purpose a nonsmooth version of the standard Guignard constraint qualification (GCQ) and strong stationarity are introduced in terms of convexifactors for MPEC. It is shown that Strong stationarity is the first order necessary optimality condition under nonsmooth version of the standard GCQ. Finally, notions of asymptotic pseudoconvexity and asymptotic quasiconvexity are used to establish the sufficient optimality conditions for MPEC.
