Abstract

We study links between the linear bilevel and linear mixed 0–1 programming problems. A new reformulation of the linear mixed 0–1 programming problem into a linear bilevel programming one, which does not require the introduction of a large finite constant, is presented. We show that solving a linear mixed 0–1 problem by a classical branch-and-bound algorithm is equivalent in a strong sense to solving its bilevel reformulation by a bilevel branch-and-bound algorithm. The mixed 0–1 algorithm is embedded in the bilevel algorithm through the aforementioned reformulation; i.e., when applied to any mixed 0–1 instance and its bilevel reformulation, they generate sequences of subproblems which are identical via the reformulation.
