A Numerical Method for Solving Bilevel Optimization Based on Moving Space Response Surface

Abstract:

Bilevel programming has great significance in the field of engineering optimization, but for the particularity of the model it is difficult to solve. A numerical method for solving the bilevel programming has variable range constraints only in upper-level model based on Moving Space Response Surface Fitting Optimum Solution Function (MRFOM) is proposed in this paper. Some bilevel programming for the engineering optimization is hard to solve by mathematical method because the lower-level function expressions are hard to get because the lower-level optimizations are performed by specialty optimization software. MRFOM is specially applicable for this condition. Result shows that it has a good computing effect for the application of engineering optimization.
