OPTIMALITY CONDITIONS FOR NONCONVEX BILEVEL PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS
Liu Guosha · 1997
In this paper, we derive an exact penalty function for nonconvex bilevel programming problem based on its KS form. Based on this exact penalty function a sufficient condition for KS to be partially calm is presented and a necessary optimality condition for nonconvex bilevel programming problems is given. Some existing results about the differentiability of the value function of the lower level programming problem are extended and a sufficient condition for CRCQ to hold for VS form of BLPP with linear lower level programming problem is also given.
