There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Whereas pricing models have in the past often been approached from a purely academic standpoint, optimal pricing is nowadays considered as a central financial and operational tool in several industries. The optimal pricing problem, involving two decision makers acting non cooperatively and in a sequential way, can be adequately modelled as a bilevel program In this presentation we give a theoretical and algorithmic study of this class of bilevel problems, devoting a special attention to the problem of setting profit maximizing tariffs on a transportation network.
