In this letter, we consider a bilevel optimization problem in which the outer-level objective function is strongly convex, whereas the inner-level problem consists of a finite sum of convex functions. Bilevel optimization problems arise in…
Partial calmness is a celebrated but restrictive property of bilevel optimization problems whose presence opens a way to the derivation of Karush--Kuhn--Tucker-type necessary optimality conditions in order to characterize local minimizers.…
The adversarial worst-case load shedding (AWLS) problem is pivotal for identifying critical contingencies under line outages. It is naturally cast as a bilevel program: the upper level simulates an attacker determining worst-case line…
We study a class of two-stage stochastic programs, namely, those with fixed recourse matrix and fixed costs, and linear second stage. We show that, under mild assumptions, the problem can be solved with just one scenario, which we call an…
We study the problem of optimizing nonlinear objective functions over bipartite matchings. While the problem is generally intractable, we provide several efficient algorithms for it, including a deterministic algorithm for maximizing convex…
It has been shown recently that optimal control problems with the dynamical constraint given by a second order system admit a regular Lagrangian formulation. This implies that the optimality conditions can be obtained in a new form based on…
Second-order necessary conditions for optimal control problems are considered, where the ``second-order" is in the sense of that Pontryagin's maximum principle is viewed as a first-order necessary optimality condition. A sufficient…
This work is concerned with an optimal control problem on a Riemannian manifold, for which two typical cases are considered. The first case is when the endpoint is free. For this case, the control set is assumed to be a separable metric…
This paper discusses differential stability of convex programming problems in Hausdorff locally convex topological vector spaces. Among other things, we obtain formulas for computing or estimating the subdifferential and the singular…
Learning to Optimize (L2O) is a subfield of machine learning (ML) in which ML models are trained to solve parametric optimization problems. The general goal is to learn a fast approximator of solutions to constrained optimization problems,…
The linear programming (LP) approach is, together with value iteration and policy iteration, one of the three fundamental methods to solve optimal control problems in a dynamic programming setting. Despite its simple formulation,…
We consider bilevel linear problems, where some parameters are stochastic, and the leader has to decide in a here-and-now fashion, while the follower has complete information. In this setting, the leader's outcome can be modeled by a random…
Bilevel optimization has recently attracted growing interests due to its wide applications in modern machine learning problems. Although recent studies have characterized the convergence rate for several such popular algorithms, it is still…
Chance constraints are a valuable tool for the design of safe decisions in uncertain environments; they are used to model satisfaction of a constraint with a target probability. However, because of possible non-convexity and non-smoothness,…
We propose techniques for approximating bilevel optimization problems with non-smooth lower level problems that can have a non-unique solution. To this end, we substitute the expression of a minimizer of the lower level minimization problem…
The main purpose of this paper is the study of second-order optimality conditions for the bilinear control of a strongly degenerate parabolic equation. The equation is degenerate at the boundary of the spatial domain. The well-posedness of…
In this paper, in the absence of any constraint qualifications, we develop sequential necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a constrained multiobjective fractional programming problem characterizing a Henig proper efficient…
We propose an extended variant of the reformulation and decomposition algorithm for solving a special class of mixed-integer bilevel linear programs (MIBLPs) where continuous and integer variables are involved in both upper- and lower-level…
Pareto-optimality plays a central role in evaluating the efficiency of solutions to allocation problems, such as house allocation, school choice, and kidney exchange. We introduce a general linear programming problem subject to…
In this paper, we focus on simple bilevel optimization problems, where we minimize a convex smooth objective function over the optimal solution set of another convex smooth constrained optimization problem. We present a novel bilevel…
