Ernest Sosa has long defended bi-level virtue epistemology on the grounds that it offers the best overall treatment of epistemology’s central issues. A surprising number of problems “yield to” the approach (Sosa 1991: 9). Sosa applies bi-level virtue epistemology to diagnose and bypass ongoing disputes in contemporary epistemology, including the disputes between foundationalists and coherentist...

decentralization allows channel members to make their decisions, independently. in this decentralized channels, members may have different power to make its decisions. hence, decisions of each member may influence on the other members’ decisions. to model such situations, bi-level programming models are useful. in this study, a supply chain including one manufacturer and multiple competitive re...

This work presents the first projection-free algorithm to solve stochastic bi-level optimization problems, where objective function depends on solution of another problem. The proposed $\textbf{S}$tochastic $\textbf{Bi}$-level $\textbf{F}$rank-$\textbf{W}$olfe ($\textbf{SBFW}$) can be applied streaming settings and does not make use large batches or checkpoints. sample complexity SBFW is shown ...
