Abstract:We consider a bilevel optimization problem in which the ground set is partitioned between two decision makers, a leader and a follower, whose optimization problems are interleaved. We study the Bilevel Independent Set problem, and its special case, the Bilevel Interval Selection problem, on different variants emerging from a combination of the type of leader's objective function, the type of follower's objective function, and the setting in which the follower reacts, i.e., either optimistically or pessimistically. Here we consider sum and bottleneck type objective functions. We investigate the computational complexity of all these variants for the Bilevel Independent Set problem, and sort them into their respective level of the polynomial hierarchy. Our results range from $\mathsf{P}$, $\mathsf{NP}$-completeness to $\Sigma_2^\mathsf{p}$-completeness. For the Bilevel Interval Selection problem, we give a dynamic programming algorithm running in time $\mathcal{O}(n^4\log n)$ for the variants in which the leader and the follower have objective functions of the sum type.
