A solution procedure for the resource control problem in two-level hierarchical decision processes

[[abstract]]The general multilevel programming problem is a set of nested optimization problems over a single feasible region. Control over the decision variables is partitioned among ordered levels within a hierarchical structure. The two-level resource control problem is a special case where the level-two planner controls the effective resource space for the level-one planner. This produces a solution structure with the feasible region viewed by level-two planner as a nonconvex subset of the overall feasible region. In this paper, the author develops an algorithm to solve this problem. Computational results are presented[[fileno]]2020401010010[[department]]工工
