AB - We study a variant of the pessimistic bi-level optimization problem, which comprises constraintsthat must be satis ed for any optimal solution of a subordinate (lower-level) optimization problem. Wepresent conditions that guarantee the existence of optimal solutions in such a problem, and we characterizethe computational complexity of various subclasses of the problem. We then focus on probleminstances that may lack convexity, but that satisfy a certain independence property. We develop convergentapproximations for these instances, and we derive an iterative solution scheme that is reminiscent ofthe discretization techniques used in semi-in nite programming. We also present a computational studythat illustrates the numerical behavior of our algorithm on standard benchmark instances.
