A new smoothing approach based on entropic perturbation is proposed for solving mathematical programs with equilibrium …

We consider equilibrium constrained optimization problems, which have a general formulationthat encompasses well …-known models such as mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints, bilevel programs, and generalized semi …-infinite programming problems. Based on the celebrated K K M lemma, we prove the existence of feasible points for the equilibrium …

-based methods have been successfully used for solving challenging stochastic optimization problems and equilibrium models. Here we … programs with equilibrium constraints. The convergence analysis of sample-path methods rely heavily on stability conditions. We …

customization process determines the utility a consumer may obtain or the complexity a consumer may face in the mass customization … configurations also affect consumers’ perception of the complexity of mass customization as they affect how many cognitive steps a … consumer needs to make in the decision process. Both product utility and complexity in the end determine the utility consumers …
