Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A lot of real systems involves a hierarchical structure of decision making. Bilevel optimization is the discipline that allows us to model those systems in which the feasible solutions are obtained by solving an optimization problem.
In this special issue, we invite papers with contribution in the applicability of bilevel programming from different perspectives. From the point of view of modelling real-word optimization problems in different research fields such as pricing problems, waste management or planning of logistic operations. We also encourage the exploration of the applicability of the bilevel approach to the resolution of some NP problems.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
