Description
This is an example that shows that upper level joint constraints cannot simply be put into lower level model First model ----------- The lower level problem essentially requires y = -x which implies x <= 1 for the upper level problem. Since x has a lower bound of 1 the solution is x = 1, y = -1. Second model ------------ The upper level problem maximizes x s.t. no constraint, hence, x will be at its upper bound, x = 2. That implies y >= 0 for the lower level problem which minimzes y, hence y = 0. Contributor: Michael Ferris, November 2009

This is an example that shows that upper level joint constraints
cannot simply be put into lower level model
First model
-----------
The lower level problem essentially requires y = -x which implies x <= 1
for the upper level problem. Since x has a lower bound of 1 the solution
is x = 1, y = -1.
Second model
------------
The upper level problem maximizes x s.t. no constraint, hence, x will be
at its upper bound, x = 2. That implies y >= 0 for the lower level problem
which minimzes y, hence y = 0.
