Proximal algorithms with Bregman distances for bilevel equilibrium problems with application to the problem of "how routines form and change" in Economics and Management Sciences

In this paper we present the bilevel equilibrium problem under conditions of pseudomonotonicity. Using Bregman distances on Hadamard manifolds we propose a framework for to analyse the convergence of a proximal point algorithm to solve this bilevel equilibrium problem. As an application, we consider the problem of "how routines form and change" which is crucial for the dynamics of organizations in Economics and Management Sciences.

A proximal point algorithm with generalized proximal distances to BEPs

We consider a bilevel problem involving two monotone equilibrium bifunctions and we show that this problem can be solved by a proximal point method with generalized proximal distances. We propose a framework for the convergence analysis of the sequences generated by the algorithm. This class of problems is very interesting because it covers mathematical programs and optimization problems under equilibrium constraints. As an application, we consider the problem of the stability and change dynamics of task's allocation in a hierarchical organization.

Behavioral Traps and the Equilibrium Problem on Hadamard Manifolds

In this paper we present a sufficient condition for the existence of a solution for an equilibrium problem on an Hadamard manifold and under suitable assumptions on the sectional curvature, we propose a framework for the convergence analysis of a proximal point algorithm to solve this equilibrium problem in finite time. Finally we offer an application to personal equilibrum problems as behavioral traps problems, using a recent "variational rationality" approach of human behavior.
