A novel technique that addresses the solution of the general integer linear bilevel programming problem to global optimality is presented i.e. the general case of bilevel linear programming problems where each decision maker has objective functions conflicting with each other. We introduce linear programming problem of which resolution can permit to generate the whole feasible set of the upper level decisions. The approach is based on the relaxation of the feasible region by convex underestimation. Finally, we illustrate our approach with a numerical example.

This chapter describes a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) model to solve a Multiobjective Bilevel Programming Problem (MOBLPP) with a set of chance constraints within a structure of decentralized decision problems. To formulate the model, the chance constraints are converted first to their crisp equivalents to employ FGP methodology. Then, the tolerance membership functions associated with fuzzily described goals of the objective functions are defined to measure the degree of satisfaction of Decision Makers (DMs) with achievement of objective function values and also to obtain the degree of optimality of vector of decision variables controlled by upper-level DM in the decision system. In decision-making process, a GA scheme is adopted to solve the problem and thereby to obtain a proper solution for balancing execution powers of DMs in uncertain environment. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the method.

For a class of stochastic linear bilevel programming problem, we firstly transform it into a deterministic linear bilevel covariance programming problem. Then, the deterministic bilevel covariance programming problem is solved by backpropagation artificial neural network based on elite particle swam optimization algorithm (BPANN-PSO). Finally, we perform the simulation experiments and the results show that the computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm has a potential upside compared with the classical algorithm.
