Abstract
The problem of threshold stability for a bilevel problem with a median type of facility
location and discriminatory pricing is considered. When solving such a problem, it is necessary to
find the threshold stability radius and a semifeasible solution of the original bilevel problem such
that the leader’s revenue is not less than a predetermined value (threshold) for any deviation of
budgets that does not exceed the threshold stability radius and which preserves its semifeasibility.
Thus, the threshold stability radius determines the limit of disturbances of consumer budgets with
which these conditions are satisfied.
Two approximate algorithms for solving the threshold stability problem based on
the heuristic of descent with alternating neighborhoods are developed. These algorithms are based
on finding a good approximate location of facilities as well as on calculating the optimal set of
prices for the found location of facilities. The algorithms differ in the way they compare various
locations of facilities; this ultimately leads to different estimates of threshold stability radius. A
numerical experiment has shown the efficiency of the chosen approach both in terms of the
running time of the algorithms and the quality of the solutions obtained.
