Abstract

The task to find a best point within the set of optimal solutions of a convex optimization problem is called simple bilevel optimization problem. In general, a necessary optimality condition for a convex simple bilevel problem does not need to be sufficient. An adapted necessary and sufficient optimality condition is derived using tools from cone-convex optimization and a gradient type descent method is suggested which combines the use of a convex combination of both objective functions and projection onto the feasible set. In the second section, a similar algorithm is used to find a best point within the solutions of a variational inequality.
