The Bilevel Programming Algorithm in Supply Chain Management

Xiaowei Ma

Abstract

This paper describes bilevel programming and its application in transportation,resource allocation,principal-agent problem and supply chain management.Both Linear and nonlinear programmings are discussed.Pole algorithm,descending iteration algorithm,penalty function algorithm and branch and bound algorithm are presented and evaluated.At the end of the paper,we also discuss the development direction of bilevel programming and its algorithms.
