Researchers working with nonlinear programming often claim "the
word is non linear" indicating that real applications require
nonlinear modeling. The same is true for other areas such as
multi-objective programming (there are always several goals in a
real application), stochastic programming (all data is uncer tain
and therefore stochastic models should be used), and so forth. In
this spirit we claim: The word is multilevel. In many decision
processes there is a hierarchy of decision makers, and decisions
are made at different levels in this hierarchy. One way to handle
such hierar chies is to focus on one level and include other
levels' behaviors as assumptions. Multilevel programming is the
research area that focuses on the whole hierar chy structure. In
terms of modeling, the constraint domain associated with a
multilevel programming problem is implicitly determined by a series
of opti mization problems which must be solved in a predetermined
sequence. If only two levels are considered, we have one leader
(associated with the upper level) and one follower (associated with
the lower level)."
