PAPER NEWS!
Our paper "Learning the Follower's Objective Function in Sequential #Bilevel Games" (jointly w I. Molan & J. Thürauf) is now published in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research.
Interested? Go for it: link.springer.com/article/10.1.... It's #OpenAccess.
Proof-reading chapter 2: Optimistic vs pessimistic #bilevel problems.
What is a pessimistic problem? Why is it different? And why is it actually not as different as many people thought for a long time …
#orms #optimization
... a bit about the history of #bilevel #optimization and the main formal definitions:
the optimistic problem, coupling constraints, the rational reaction set, the optimal-value function, linking variables, local and global solutions, the single-level relaxation, etc.
Stay tuned for me!

Proof-reading our #bilevel #optimization book.
Today: Chapter 1 about what it is all about 😉
From the content: many formal and informal examples such as pricing, toll setting, energy markets, critical infrastructure defense, interdiction problems (max-flow & knapsack)
... plus ...

A new book is coming:
"Linear and Mixed-Integer Bilevel Optimization: Theory and Algorithms"
by Ivana Ljubić, @yasminebeck.bsky.social, and myself.
Let's start the last round of proof-reading! Stay tuned for regular updates on its content.

Hey #bilevel #optimization folks!
There is a completely revised and significantly extended version of our preprint on "Using Disjunctive Cuts in a Branch-and-Cut Method to Solve Convex Integer Nonlinear Bilevel Problems" (jointly w I. Ljubic & A. Horländer) online:

Where it started vs. how it’s going…
After ~2.5 years, it’s finally done: Our #orms paper on heuristics for Γ-robust #bilevel problems (with Ivana Ljubić and @schmaidt.bsky.social) is published online in @informs.bsky.social Journal on Computing! Here it is: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/...

Finally 🥳

It's done!
Our paper "Relax and penalize: a new #bilevel approach to mixed-binary hyperparameter #optimization" has been published in the Transactions on Machine Learning Research: jmlr.org/tmlr/papers/.
It's #OpenAccess; go for it!
Thanks to all the Italians 🇮🇹 for having me 👍
Can #bilevel #optimization help to solve challenging #robust optimization problems?
Maybe … here’s our first numerical study on this topic:
"Solving Decision-Dependent Robust Problems as Bilevel Optimization Problems"
Jointly with H. Lefebvre, S. Stevens, and J. Thürauf.
