概要	Bilevel optimization is a class of mathematical programming problems in which one optimization problem is nested inside another. The upper-level (leader) problem optimizes its objective subject to constraints that include the solution of a lower-level (follower) problem. Formalized comprehensively by Jonathan Bard in 1998, the framework models hierarchical decision-making where the leader anticipates and accounts for the rational response of the follower.	Nonlinear programming (NLP) is a branch of mathematical optimization concerned with problems in which the objective function or at least one constraint is nonlinear. Formalized comprehensively by Jorge Nocedal and Stephen Wright in their seminal 2006 text, NLP encompasses gradient-based algorithms — including sequential quadratic programming (SQP), interior-point methods, and quasi-Newton approaches — for finding locally or globally optimal solutions to continuous decision problems arising across engineering, economics, and the physical sciences.
