The upper level is a scalar optimization problem to be solved by the leader, and the lower level is a multiobjective optimization problem to be solved by several followers acting in a cooperative way inside the greatest coalition, so choosing among Pareto solutions. In the so-called “optimistic problem”, the followers choose among their best responses (i.e. Pareto solutions) one which is the most favorable for the leader. The opposite is the “pessimistic problem”, when there is no cooperation between the leader and the followers, and the followers choice among their best responses may be the worst for the leader. The paper presents a general method which allows, under certain mild hypotheses, to transform a semivectorial bilevel problem into an ordinary bilevel optimization. Some applications are given.","PeriodicalId":38807,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists: Series on Mathematics and its Applications","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90262710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After introducing certain preliminaries, a SOF Stackelberg strategy is derived. It is shown that the strategy set is established by solving two constraint optimization problems and cross-coupled stochastic matrix equations that consist of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). In order to obtain the corresponding solutions of the constraint optimization problems and cross coupled stochastic matrix equations (CCSMEs), an algorithm based on the Krasnoselskii iterative algorithm is proposed instead of solving BMI. It is also shown that weak convergence can be achieved using this approach. A practical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and convergence of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":38807,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists: Series on Mathematics and its Applications","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80779075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notice that if µ = 1 and ε is a positive small parameter, the above problem is a Lions-type regularization of the Cauchy problem u 0 (t) + Au(t) + Bu(t) 3 f(t), t ∈ [0, T]; u(0) = u0, which was recently studied by L.

The quasi-exactly solvable properties of the model are recovered by considering polynomial solutions for the bi-confluent Heun equation which constrains the potential parameters in terms of rotation quantum number, space dimension and order of the exact solvability. It is shown that the state independence of the potential can be maintained by using a see-saw adjustment between the rotation quantum number and the exact solvability order. An analysis on the exactly solvable instances of the sextic potential is presented in correlation with the extended set of exactly solvable states.","PeriodicalId":38807,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists: Series on Mathematics and its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76476094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
