For the optimum price problem of charging for effluent, this paper analyzes the optimal Pigovian Tax and the serious information asymmetry problem existing in the application process of optimal Pigovian Tax, which is predominant in theory. Then the bilevel system optimizing decision-making theory is applied to give bilevel linear programming decision-making model of charging for effluent, in which the government (environmental protection agency) acts as the upper level decision-making unit and the polluting enterprises act as the lower level decision-making unit. To some extent, the model avoids the serious information asymmetry between the government and the polluting enterprises on charging for effluent.

linear mixed 0-1 integer programming problems may be reformulated as equivalent continuous bilevel linear programming (BLP) problems. We exploit these equivalences to transpose the concept of mixed 0-1 Gomory cuts to BLP. The first phase of our new algorithm generates Gomory-like cuts. The second phase consists of a branch-and-bound procedure to ensure finite termination with a global optimal solution. Different features of the algorithm, in particular, the cut selection and branching criteria are studied in details. We propose also a set of algorithmic tests and procedures to improve the method. Finally, we illustrate the performance through numerical experiments. Our algorithm outperforms pure branch-and-bound when tested on a series of randomly generated problems.

This article considers bilevel linear programming problems where random fuzzy variables are contained in objective functions and constraints. In order to construct a new optimization criterion under fuzziness and randomness, the concept of value at risk and possibility theory are incorporated. The purpose of the proposed decision making model is to optimize possibility-based values at risk. It is shown that the original bilevelprogramming problems involving random fuzzy variables are transformed into deterministic problems. The characteristic of the proposed model is that the corresponding Stackelberg problem is exactly solved by using nonlinearbilevelprogramming techniques under some convexity properties. A simple numerical example is provided to show the applicability of the proposed methodology to real-world hierarchical problems.

In this paper, we consider a kind of bilevel linear programming problem where the coefficients of both objective functions are fuzzy random variables. The purpose of this paper is to develop a computational method for obtaining optimistic Stackelberg solutions to such a problem. Based on alpha-level sets of fuzzy random variables, we first transform the fuzzy random bilevelprogramming problem into an alpha-stochastic interval bilevel linear programming problem. To minimize the interval objective functions, the order relations which represent the decision maker's preference are defined by the right limit and the center of random interval simultaneously. Using the order relations and expectation optimization, the alpha-stochastic interval bilevel linear programming problem can be converted into a deterministic multiobjective bilevel linear programming problem. According to optimistic anticipation from the upper level decision maker, the optimistic Stackelberg solution is introduced and a computational method is also presented. Finally, several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we address a class of bilevel linear programming problems with fuzzy random variable coefficients in objective functions. To deal with such problems, we apply an interval programming approach based on the -level set to construct a pair of bilevel mathematical programming models called the best and worst optimal models. Through expectation optimization model, the best and worst optimal problems are transformed into the deterministic problems. By means of the Kth best algorithm, we obtain the best and worst optimal solutions as well as the corresponding range of the objective function values. In this way, more information can be provided to the decision makers under fuzzy random circumstances. Finally, experiments on two examples are carried out, and the comparisons with two existing approaches are made. The results indicate the proposed approaches can get not only the best optimal solution (ideal solution) but also the worst optimal solution, and is more reasonable than the existing approaches which can only get a single solution (ideal solution).

This paper focuses on random fuzzy noncooperative bilevel linear programming problems. Considering the probabilities that the decision makers' objective function values are smaller than or equal to target variables, fuzzy goals of the decision makers are introduced. Using the fractile model to optimize the target variables under the condition that the degrees of possibility with respect to the attained probabilities are greater than or equal to certain permissible levels, the original random fuzzy bilevelprogramming problems are reduced to deterministic ones. Extended concepts of Stackelberg solutions are introduced and computational methods are also presented. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed method.

bilevel linear programming, which consists of the objective functions of the upper level and lower level, is a useful tool for modeling decentralized decision problems. Various methods are proposed for solving this problem. Of all the algorithms, the ge- netic algorithm is an alternative to conventional approaches to find the solution of the bilevel linear programming. In this paper, we describe an adaptive genetic algorithm for solving the bilevel linear programming problem to overcome the difficulty of determining the probabilities of crossover and mutation. In addition, some techniques are adopted not only to deal with the difficulty that most of the chromosomes maybe infeasible in solving constrained optimization problem with genetic algorithm but also to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. The performance of this proposed algorithm is illustrated by the examples from references.

We analyze the article "A modified simplex approach for solving bilevel linear programming problems" (EJOR, 67, 116-135). We point out some problems in its theoretical analysis. Moreover, the algorithm proposed may not find a global solution as it is claimed. We give some examples in order to illustrate these remarks. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper considers a class of bilevel linear programming problems in which the coefficients of both objective functions are fuzzy random variables. The main idea of this paper is to introduce the Pareto optimal solution in a multi-objective bilevelprogramming problem as a solution for a fuzzy random bilevelprogramming problem. To this end, a stochastic interval bilevel linear programming problem is first introduced in terms of alpha-cuts of fuzzy random variables. On the basis of an order relation of interval numbers and the expectation optimization model, the stochastic interval bilevel linear programming problem can be transformed into a multi-objective bilevelprogramming problem which is solved by means of weighted linear combination technique. In order to compare different optimal solutions depending on different cuts, two criterions are given to provide the preferable optimal solutions for the upper and lower level decision makers respectively. Finally, a production planning problem is given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

This paper considers Stackelberg solutions for bilevel linear programming problems under fuzzy random environments. To deal with the formulated fuzzy random bilevel linear programming problem, alpha-level sets of fuzzy random variables are introduced and an alpha-stochastic bilevel linear programming problem is defined for guaranteeing the degree of realization of the problem. Taking into account vagueness of judgments of decision makers, fuzzy goals are introduced and the alpha-stochastic bilevel linear programming problem is transformed into the problem to maximize the satisfaction degree for each fuzzy goal. Through probability maximization in stochastic programming, the transformed stochastic bilevelprogramming problem can be reduced to a deterministic bilevelprogramming problem. An extended concept of Stackelberg solution is introduced and a computational method is also presented. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed method.
