Abstract
In this paper, a linear bilevel programming problem (LBP) is considered. Local optimality in LBP is studied via two related problems (P) and P(M). Problem (P) is a one-level model obtained by replacing the innermost problem of LBP by its KKT conditions. Problem P(M) is a penalization of the complementarity constraints of (P) with a penalty parameter M. Characterizations of a (strict) local solution of LBP are derived. In particular, the concept of equilibrium point of P(M) is used to characterize the local optima of (P) and LBP.
