Abstract :
Stackelberg games and their resulting nonconvex programming problems can be used to model the behavior of independent decision-makers acting within a hierarchy. An examination is made of the formation of coalitions within such organizations of optimizers for a large class of hierarchical problems. The mathematical characteristics of these games and the implications of their solutions are considered
