Abstract

Motivated by network design problems, we study a special class of mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints to which the so-called implicit programming approach cannot be applied directly. By using the tools of nonsmooth analysis, however, also these problems may be converted to Lipschitz programs, solvable by existing methods of non-differentiable optimization.
