Stackelberg solutions to noncooperative two-level nonlinear programming problems through particle swarm optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we focus on two-level nonlinear programming problems with no coordination between the decision maker at the upper level ( the leader) and the decision maker at the lower level (the follower), and propose a computational method through particle swarm optimization (PSO) for obtaining Stackelberg solutions to two-level nonlinear programming problems. Furthermore, we carry out numerical experiments in order to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with existing methods.

Stackelberg Solutions to Noncooperative Two-Level Nonlinear Programming Problems through Evolutionary Multi-Agent Systems
In the real world, we often encounter situations where there are two or more decision makers in an organization with a hierarchical structure, and they make decisions in turn or at the same time so as to optimize their objective functions. Decision making problems in decentralized organizations are often modeled as Stackelberg games (Simaan & Cruz Jr., 1973), and they are formulated as two-leve...
متن کاملParticle Swarm Optimization for Interactive Fuzzy Multiobjective Nonlinear Programming
In recent years, particle swarm optimization (PSO) proposed by Kennedy et al. has been widely used as a general approximate solution method for optimization problems. The authors proposed a revised PSO (rPSO) method incorporating the homomorphous mapping and the multiple stretching technique in order to cope with shortcomings of PSO and showed its efficiency for nonlinear programming problems. ...

This paper presents a new approach to solve Fractional Programming Problems (FPPs) based on two different Swarm Intelligence (SI) algorithms. The two algorithms are: Particle Swarm Optimization, and Firefly Algorithm. The two algorithms are tested using several FPP benchmark examples and two selected industrial applications. The test aims to prove the capability of the SI algorithms to s...
متن کاملSolving Constrained Nonlinear Optimization Problems with Particle Swarm Optimization
This paper presents a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for constrained nonlinear optimization problems. In PSO, the potential solutions, called particles, are "flown" through the problem space by learning from the current optimal particle and its own memory. In this paper, preserving feasibility strategy is employed to deal with constraints. PSO is started with a group of feasible so...
متن کاملApplication of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques to Solve Bi-level Congestion Pricing Problems
The solutions used to solve bi-level congestion pricing problems are usually based on heuristic network optimization methods which may not be able to find the best solution for these type of problems. The application of meta-heuristic methods can be seen as viable alternative solutions but so far, it has not received enough attention by researchers in this field. Therefore, the objective of thi...
