δ-perturbation of bilevel optimization problems: An error bound analysis by Margarita Antoniou, Ankur Sinha, Gregor Papa

“…The optimistic or the pessimistic bilevel optimal solution can then be efficiently searched for by algorithms that rely on solving the lower level optimization problem multiple times during the solution search procedure. The δ-perturbed formulation is arrived at by adding the upper level objective function to the lower level objective function after multiplying the upper level objective by a small positive/negative δ. …”
