Two-Level Mathematical Programming Problem

In the latter half of this book we are concerned with theories and solution methods for various two-level optimization problems, which are generally called two-level mathematical programs. The purpose of this chapter is to present a unified treatment of various two-level optimization problems in the context of general two-level nonlinear programming. In so doing, we show how several variants fit the general model. As such, one can achieve a unified framework for each individual problem discussed in the following chapters.
