On the use of bilevel programming for solving a structural optimization problem with discrete variables

In this paper, a bilevel formulation of a structural optimization problem with discrete variables is investigated. The bilevel programming problem is transformed into a Mathematical Program with Equilibrium (or Complementarity) Constraints (MPEC) by exploiting the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions of th...
